BAMBOO and LINEN

There's lots of info on bamboo on the internet. We use because it harms no one in its growing as it grows freely without chemicals- but it's not black and white. Most bamboo is grown in China, there is no certification process. We don't really know if farmers are exploted or get fair wages for their crops.

Sodium hydroxide is used in processing bamboo- (The same chemical is used to make soap and linen and many other fabrics and products) It's not a friendly chemical and can cuase harm if not used under careful controlled conditions. I don't know the conditions that factory workers experience.

The same goes with the 8% elsthene used in our organic cotton bamboo mix- it is derived from oil.

Also, mixed fibre fabrics are not as easy to recycle.

Linen is made from Flax and is a good fabric to use as the crop grows naturally without pesticides.

There are ethical choices to be made with everything we use, I would urge you to do your own research we think on balance its okay though we are looking more carefully for alternatives to bamboo.
