BAMBOO

is an extraordinary natural source of renewable energy and raw material. It grows spontaneously or in plantation and it doesn’t require specific cares. In ideal climatic conditions, new bamboo sprouts can grow up to 1 meter in 36 hours, until to reach considerable dimensions. The autochthon bamboo woods extend into large areas across the world, in different climatic regions: from East Asia to North Australia, from India to Himalayas, in Sub-Saharan Africa and in the Americas. Historically bamboo has been widely used in Asia as ornamental plant, as building material and as food source. Today bamboo fiber offers an extraordinary opportunity for the textile industry too. Entirely natural and biodegradable, it offers natural and refined weaves similar to silk ones. The porous structure of this fiber facilitates corporeal thermoregulation, with an excellent moisture absorption.
