Bamboo viscose is:
– 40% more absorbent than cotton
– breathable fabric, keeping feet fresh and dry
– naturally anti-bacterial
– durable and stronger than cotton
– hypo-allergenic

Why is Bamboo preferable to cotton?
– bamboo grows without the need for fertilisers or pesticides
– grows naturally so requires less water (a third of the water required to grow cotton) and farmers don’t need to irrigate their crop which saves water in a country where water shortages are a problem
– bamboo yields are ten times higher per hectare than cotton and the plant rarely needs replanting, sprouting on its own.
– bamboo yarns require less dye than cotton and keep their colour for longer
