Bamboo fabric is created from the bamboo pulp. It does not need chlorine to bleach it and it can be dyed easily with minimal water requirements. Fabrics that do not dye easily are often treated with harsh chemicals and much more water, so an organic fabric that dyes easy is generally better for the environment.
Organic cotton is much more environmentally friendly than the traditional variety as it uses no pesticides, herbicides, or insecticides during the growing cycle. There are many growers of this crop, and the number is steadily increasing.
Hemp fabric is also an eco-friendly crop that can solve many problems and produce quality clothing. The clothes are very fine indeed and best of all Hemp requires no pesticide, survives on little water, and it renews the soil with each repeating crop – truly eco friendly.
