Bamboo fiber is an excellent option for individuals who wish to contribute to the health of our planet. It is a renewable resource, which means that it can regrow rapidly after being cut. Bamboo can grow at a super fast rate — up to 90 feet tall just in one year! This is fantastic because it allows us to harvest bamboo multiple times a year. We can use it to create all kinds of different products, allowing us to reduce waste and use more Earth-friendly materials.
Perhaps one of the best things in regards to bamboo is that it is quite eco-friendly. It does not take much water to grow, which matters, especially where there is a scarcity of water. Meanwhile, bamboo plants work well without any chemical, be it fertilizers or pesticides. This is great for nature because it means we are not affecting the soil and the air. On the other hand, regular cotton farming consumes huge amounts of insecticides which can have negative impact on the environment as well as the creatures living in the environment.
Bamboo has one more unique property that is doing our planet a bigger favor. It is also known to absorb many tons of carbon dioxide from the air and releases oxygen. This matters because carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas and causes global warming. Planting and harvesting bamboo can actually help reduce the level of carbon dioxide that is circulating in the air. So not only is bamboo a useful plant, it helps to make our air potentially cleaner for all.
In addition to being amazing environmentally speaking, bamboo fiber has a number of health benefits as well. The garment is super soft to touch, which is gentle on our skin while wearing. It is also hypoallergenic, which means that it is not allergic. This is ideal for sensitive or allergy-prone skin. Bamboo fiber can absorb moisture from our skin and dry quickly as well. This ensures we’re dry and comfortable, especially in warm weather.
The other amazing thing about bamboo fiber is, its strength. Bamboo is a highly strong material capable of withstanding the harshest environment for long. Bamboo is such a strong material, it can be used for many things. Bamboo towels, sheets, and clothing for example can last far longer than their counterparts made with other materials, and they still look and feel incredible. We waste less because we do not need to replace these things as frequently.
We at Bornature feel it is our duty to be stewards of our planet. That is exactly why we decided to stick with bamboo fiber in our products. It enhances environmental sustainability, as bamboo is recyclable and decomposes much faster than conventional fabric. All our bamboo fiber products are made from 100% organic bamboo, are biodegradable. This signifies that they can decompose naturally when we are finished with them and will not leave dangerous residues in the dirt.
Do you know that there is more to being environmentally responsible than just the things that we buy and our use thereof, but rather us being aware of our choices and their implications towards our impact on the world? This helps us prevent the misuse of natural resources and looks to create a safer environment for our future generations. So please all do your part, and please every small act counts.
