Bamboo Fabric
What
Bamboo Fabric
Actually Means
Most bamboo fabric on the market is bamboo viscose, a semi-synthetic fiber made by chemically dissolving bamboo pulp.
How Brands Commonly Use It
Brands market bamboo fabric as natural, biodegradable, and low-impact without disclosing chemical processing.
Why It’s Misleading
Bamboo viscose uses intensive chemical processing
The final fiber shares little with raw bamboo
Shezaar’s Interpretation
We classify bamboo viscose as a semi-synthetic fiber and score it based on processing impact, not the bamboo origin.
✔ Fiber type (viscose vs lyocell)
✔ Processing method
✔ Chemical disclosure
