ORGANIC COTTON BLENDS ORGANIC COTTON + BAMBOO RAYON BLENDS When bamboo is blended with organic cotton, it makes for a breathable and durable t-shirt. Bamboo fabric has the natural ability to absorb moisture, is antibacterial and mold resistant. The bamboo plant has sustainable attributes itself. It’s renewable, a great carbon sink, and fast growing. The processing of bamboo is chemically intensive and in the past few years has garnered the attention of the Federal Trade Commission for misleading consumers as to its environmental benefits. Most bamboo fabric is created through a chemical process very similar to the production of rayon from wood or cotton. As such, it has to be labelled as ‘rayon from bamboo’ to avoid overstating the benefits.
ORGANIC COTTON + HEMP BLENDS Hemp is considered to be one of the most
environmentally friendly textiles as it needs very little water, grows fast and does not use any chemicals. Impressively, this also applies to conventional hemp farming. Hemp and organic cotton blends are very light, insulating, durable, and hypoallergenic.
