China : Bamboo fibre catching up with times

The first monopoly shop of Talk Bamboo Bank, China's largest bamboo fiber textile brand, opened recently in the Guangzhou market. The brand presents a complete range of bamboo products like home textiles, clothing and medical care. Their products have passed the state quality and inspection tests.

Talk Bamboo Bank, located in Anji county in northwestern Zhejiang Province, has developed the 'bamboo substituting cotton' technology by integrating operation, research and development. Talk Bamboo Bank gets its fiber from Anji, so famous for producing bamboo that it is sometimes called the 'Town of Bamboo'.

After special high-tech processing, bamboo fibre turns into regenerated cellulose fiber and becomes as soft as cotton which can then be processed into fashionable towels and other clothing.

Some experts believe that bamboo products will certainly be marked as an important category in China's ecological textiles. Bamboo fiber has become the fifth available natural fiber after cotton, linen, wool and silk.
