Bamboo is a hugely environmentally friendly resource. Typical hardwood trees, such as the ones popular in wood fencing take between 30-50 years to regenerate to their full mass. As we are fast becoming aware, this causes major issues to the environment – there is less oxygen produced, less consumption of carbon dioxide and more soil runoff where those trees were harvested. All of these have a negative effect on the environment.

Bamboo, however, is the fastest growing plant on the planet, with some species having been recorded to grow over 4ft in just 24hours! Bamboo can be continuously re-harvested every 3 years with no damage to the surrounding environment. This regular harvesting is actually of benefit to the health of the bamboo plant. Also, during it’s regeneration, the bamboo plants root system remains intact preventing massive soil erosion where it is utilised. These anti-erosion properties are key to the bamboo’s reputation as a useful soil conservation tool. The lack of erosion creates an effective watershed, stitching the soil together along fragile river banks, deforested areas, and in places prone to earthquakes and mud slides.

Additionally when used in clothing, which is where we come in, it's feel against the skin is akin to a combination of ring spun cotton & silk. It's natural properties are also anti-microbial containing an agent called bamboo kun that prevents bacterial growth and requires no chemical treatment.
