Bamboo provides a sustainable fiber for towels

Bamboo towels are made from bamboo fiber. The bamboo plant is naturally antibacterial, so it is grown without pesticides. It can be spun into yarn without harsh chemical treatments. Softer and more absorbent than cotton, cashmere or silk, bamboo towels are completely biodegradable.

Features

Bamboo grows from one to four feet a day, faster than any other woody plant. A sustainable resource and a member of the grass family, bamboo flourishes in natural environments without irrigation. After being cut down to provide the fibers to make towels, a bamboo plant grows back and can be harvested again every three to four years.

Benefits

Bamboo is grown without pesticides or herbicides. The plant has a natural defense when it is growing, an agent called bamboo kun that wards off bacteria and fungus. Bamboo towels have that same anti-microbial and anti-fungal effect, which keeps them cleaner with less washing.

Highly Absorbent

Bamboo fabric wicks away moisture more efficiently than cotton, making it ideal for towels.

Durable

Bamboo towels are estimated to be three times as durable as cottons towels of a similar quality. The money-saving advantage of stronger, longer-lasting bamboo towels means they will need to be replaced less often.

Maintenance

Towels that are 100 percent bamboo should be washed in cold water without bleach or fabric softener--another money-saving benefit. The low-heat setting on the dryer helps to keep them soft.

Biodegradable

At the end of their useful life, the cellulose fibers naturally decompose when exposed to sunlight. Earth-friendly, bamboo towels can actually be composted and disintegrate completely into the earth.
