Our bamboo is grown on managed farms/plantations in Southeastern China. Since all of the fiber processing is done in China and there is an abundance of bamboo growing in China, we use the bamboo grown there. We hope that, in time, we can purchase our viscose from bamboo here in the U.S.A. After importing the fiber, Bamboosa completes the manufacturing processes (spinning, knitting, dyeing, and sewing) in South Carolina. I have read that they are clear cutting old growth forest in China to make way for more bamboo farms. We have found absolutely no evidence of any cutting of timber to plant bamboo. We have heard that there is more than one type of fiber from bamboo. There are two types of fiber derived from bamboo. What chemicals are used in the processing of your bamboo viscose and are they hazardous? The main chemical used in the processing is sodium hydroxide, also known as caustic soda. Is bamboo organically grown?
