It is great to have a website that compares bamboo textiles and it's "green-ness" to other textiles. There is so much negativity on the net towards bamboo textiles, and I wonder why there isn't the same amount about other fabrics that people are more than happy to buy and wear, but continue to bag bamboo. I am about to launch my business selling bamboo fibre clothing. I love the fabric and miss it when I have to wear other fabrics, which is why I wanted to bring a range of amazing clothes with an eco-friendly focus to Australians. Thanks so much for your website.

I have to tell you that the specific manufacturing process for standard rayon...is not something that I am intimately familiar with. In speaking with a supplier that is also a textile expert - He tells me that the process for traditional rayon, has changed over the years, and is not the same as it was some years back. He has also told me that the bamboo process is in fact different from wood based rayon, but I have to be honest here...I just haven't had the time to research that area, yet. I know this won't be of any real help to you, but I do have it on my list of things to research. If you happen to run across a solid source of information on this topic...I would appreciate hearing from you. Also, when I do the research on this, I will then do a blog post that will cover it in depth. Thanks, Doug Maury,

What I lack are specific differences between the manufacturing processes for wood-source rayon and bamboo-source "rayon." Could you refer me to technical articles that would clarify, in a fair way, those differences? If the articles also treat the relative environmental impacts, so much the better.

Are you talking about the physical characteristics of bamboo as compared to other fabrics? If so, I can only tell you that the socks, t shirts, and bedding...are more comfortable and breathable than anything I have ever tried. And I'm not opposed to forking out some cabbage for the highest quality bedding or clothing. If you're talking about the "green" factor...let me know what it is you would like to know and I will be happy to accommodate you...as we have nothing to hide. You will find other aspects of bamboo textiles in other posts on this blog as well as on our facts page. If you are looking for THE greenest solution in textiles, bamboo ain't it. You would be best served to walk to your local thrift store and grab something there. After you have purchased your pre-owned garment at the thrift store, you will want to hand wash and hang dry, as approximately 85% of a clothing items' environmental impact is in its use stage. Let me know if I can be of further assistance. Thanks, Doug Elizar,

Wont be back. I have to say that your post is so blatantly pro bamboo, it actually makes it hard for someone interested in bi-partial information about Bamboo to read. Wont be back.
