Tight and soft fabrics and materials have begun to hit the market. The green brand ViridisLuxe attracts not only UmaThurman and LauraDern's support for it, but also the gorgeousness and comfort of the clothing itself.
In fact, bamboo fiber has become the most successful case of "eco-fabric" such as soybeans, corn, milk, kelp and recycled plastic materials. Bamboo fiber products are available in brands such as Nordstrom, SaksFifthAvenue and Target stores as well as Ermenegildo Zegna, RagBone and RalphLauren. Some brands that focus on environmental protection are using bamboo fiber in large quantities. Because bamboo fiber is very soft, it is often used in combination with luxurious silk and cashmere.
The discovery and application of bamboo fiber is very logical: similar to natural hemp fiber, the crop grows quickly, without the need for extensive irrigation, spraying pesticides and cotton crops. It is widely used for sportswear development as a "degradable" and plant antibacterial property. Aarti Doshi, manager of Doshi Group, a bamboo fiber fabric distribution company headquartered in Mumbai, India, said: “Compared to cotton fiber, people are now more inclined to bamboo fiber.â€
But through the nature of the phenomenon, I have found that bamboo fiber does not look so "ecological" and "sustainable." Bamboo fibers used in textiles require more complicated processes. In order to weave into a fabric, the bamboo fiber needs to be chopped and dissolved in a toxic solvent, and the process of recovering the wood chips into viscose rayon is the same. In fact, bamboo fibers are technically man-made fibers.
The U.S. Federal Trade Commission indicted four small bamboo fiber garment manufacturers in August, saying they were guilty of trademark and other issues. According to the Textile Fiber Product Identification Act of 1958, these companies adopted slogans such as "natural", "degradable" and "antibacterial." But the Federal Trade Commission believes that because the development of bamboo fiber has undergone a chemical process, it is not natural. The agency also stated that the production process of plant fibers does not retain its biodegradable and antibacterial properties.
