Bamboo Fiber Has Puzzled Everyone'S Eyes.

Tight and soft fabric material, clothing began to become popular.

In fact, bamboo fiber has become the most successful example of "eco fabric", such as soybeans, corn, milk, kelp and recycled plastic materials.

Bamboo fiber products have related products in Nordstrom, SaksFifthAvenue and Target shops, as well as ErmenegildoZegna, RagBone and RalphLauren brands.

Some prominent brands that focus on environmental protection use bamboo fiber more.

Because bamboo fibers are very soft, they are often used with luxurious silk and cashmere.

The discovery and application of bamboo fiber is very logical: with natural hemp.

But looking at the essence of the phenomenon, I find bamboo fiber does not seem so "ecological" and "sustainable".

Bamboo fibers used in textiles require more complicated processes.

In order to weave the fabric, bamboo fibers need to be chopped and dissolved in toxic solvents, and the process of recovering wood chips into viscose rayon is the same.

In fact, technically, bamboo fibers are man-made fibers.

The Federal Trade Commission of the United States prosecuted four small bamboo fibers in August.

In a notice entitled "whether you have been confused by bamboo fibers", the Federal Trade Commission said that the production of bamboo fibers "uses toxic chemicals to release pollutants into the air."

The 4 cases of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) have been solved and no penalty has been imposed, but the fabric is labeled with viscose rayon and can not be labeled with biodegradability and antibacterial properties.

Of course, bamboo fiber is more natural than pure rayon.

But SalvatoreGiardina, an associate professor of textile development and marketing at the Institute of fashion design and fashion technology, said he now uses linen and linen fabrics.

When a manufacturer told him a few years ago that bamboo fibers were viscose fibers, he no longer used bamboo fibers.

He said: "the products I designed are all high-end products, and I can't label them as 100% viscose."

Jon and no, the designer and founder of BonnieSiefers, are one of the clothing manufacturers prosecuted by the Federal Trade Commission.

She said she had stopped selling bamboo fiber with biodegradable and antibacterial properties.

She is still studying the use of corn sugar instead of petroleum extracts to make polyester fabrics technically.

But on the Internet, we can quickly find that many clothing manufacturers still sell bamboo fiber in the name of eco friendly in the market.

Ms. Ewing pointed out that these may not be malicious.

Most of the bamboo is grown in China, and American designers are unable to monitor China's suppliers.

Of course, bamboo fibers can still be used as industrial and home textiles such as furniture and flooring.

There are other arguments about bamboo fiber.

Giardina, Professor of FIT, said he found bamboo fibers unstable and extensional in humid environments.

According to a spokesman for UniformKnittersLtd., a clothing manufacturer in Hongkong, they did not use bamboo fibers for reasons of chromatic aberration and shrinkage.

HalaBahmet, the designer of ViridisLuxe, said bamboo fibers were not very durable, and there would be some holes after several cleaning.

These small holes are caused by broken fibers.

She also said that the brand's clothing is beautiful, light and smooth, but its durability is poor.

But now organic cotton is added to improve durability. They label "bamboo viscose fiber" on labels.

She has successfully blended bamboo fiber with hemp and cashmere, weaving the best fabric.

Ms. Bahmet said she hoped that the Federal Trade Commission would pay more attention to bamboo fiber research because it did not involve the application of important food sources such as corn to fabric production.

She is optimistic that the action of the Federal Trade Commission will encourage scientists to study the production methods of real ecological bamboo fibers.

She said: "bamboo is still in its infancy only 10 years, and the road ahead is still long."
