Where Is Bamboo Fabric Produced?
Bamboo fabric has been produced in East Asia for thousands of years.
For instance, cultures in India and China have been producing this textile for
untold generations, and bamboo fabric festivals are still held in rural
India every year.
The relative environmental sustainability of growing
this type of wood has stimulated the production of bamboo across the world. Producing
this type of wood is even popular in Western nations such as the United States
and Europe since it can be grown in a wide variety of climates. Therefore,
almost every semi-developed or developed country in the world produces or
exports at least some amount of bamboo fabric.
However, the single largest producer of this type of
crop is China. In some ways, this economic fact is only natural; after all,
bamboo has been an integral part of Chinese culture for millennia, and it has
long been a favorite substance for making into textile products in this area.
There's
also a darker side to why production of bamboo fabric is so popular in China.
Since the late 1970s, China has become more and more popular among
international textile corporations.
