Why Bamboo and Not Cotton?

• Bamboo grows without the need for fertilisers or pesticides.
• Naturally requires less water (a third of the water required to grow cotton), farmers don’t need to irrigate their crop, saving water in a country where water shortages are a big problem.
• Bamboo yields are ten times higher per hectare than cotton and the plant rarely needs replanting, sprouting on its own.
• Bamboo yarns require less dye than cotton and keep their colour for longer.
