It may not be a necessity that we often give thought to but everyone deserves a comfortable robe. Admittedly, we’ve all thought about stealing that robe from the spa or seeing if that hotel robe would actually fit into our suitcase. And now you can have your own slice of comfort to escape into with plush bamboo terry bathrobes from Green Earth Bamboo.
This robe combines two luxurious sustainable fabrics that go hand-in-hand to create a wonderfully soft and guilt-free robe for you to melt away in.
The base of these comfortable robes is made from 100% Tencel Lyocell while the pile is made from 100% viscose from bamboo. TENCEL is the brand name owned by Lenzing Fibers of Austria, the fiber is generically called lyocell. Lyocell is a regenerated cellulose fiber made from dissolving pulp. Once the pulp is dissolved, it is pushed through a spinneret to form individual fibers. Those fibers are then woven into lyocell fibers and then washed in chemicals that are later retrieved, purified and recycled. There is very little by-product in the manufacturing process.
Lyocell is also manufactured in a closed loop process which requires no bleach, adding another eco-friendly component to the material.
Much like bamboo, lyocell is harvested in a sustainable fashion. The wood pulp is taken from eucalyptus trees that are grown on farms that have earned the Forest Stewardship Council certification for their renewability and sustainability. There are no old growth forests being wiped out to produce the fabric. Another striking similarity between lyocell and bamboo is that both grow abundantly without the use of additional irrigation or harsh pesticides.
Lyocell fabric also shares many qualities with bamboo that make it ideal for use in clothing. It is resistant to wrinkles, drapes easily and is a strong, durable fabric. And because both materials are incredibly soft and absorbent, using them to produce quality robes is a perfect match.
As bamboo can be used for building and bridges, lyocell is tough enough to be used in conveyor belts and printers blankets. But just as bamboo has a softer side, so does lyocell. It is not only popular for fabrics but its reach has extended to the manufacturing of baby wipes.
