Bambutyg

[carlm]

Det verkar vara mycket bluff och båg när det gäller sk. "bambu"-tyg, i alla fall om man ska tro USAs Federal Trade Commission och jämför med vad säljare marknadsför. Eller ser det helt annorlunda ut idag än när de publicerade följande (2009)?

the soft “bamboo” fabrics on the market today are rayon. They are made using toxic chemicals in a process that releases pollutants into the air. Extracting bamboo fibers is expensive and time-consuming, and textiles made just from bamboo fiber don’t feel silky smooth.

There’s also no evidence that rayon made from bamboo retains the antimicrobial properties of the bamboo plant, as some sellers and manufacturers claim. Even when bamboo is the “plant source” used to create rayon, no traits of the original plant are left in the finished product.

Companies that claim a product is “bamboo” should have reliable evidence, like scientific tests and analyses, to show that it’s made of actual bamboo fiber.
