What is bamboo?

Bamboo is the fastest-growing grass in the world. It is strong, renewable, sustainable and it grows up to a metre a day. Bamboo as a material can be rock-hard or flexible, making for endless possibilities. But its use in the textile industry has been the most surprising application of bamboo in the last ten years.

What are the benefits of bamboo clothing?

Snurck clothings feel luxurious and silky smooth to the touch, due to the rounded shape of the fibre. Bamboo products also have antibacterial qualities, which ensures that bamboo clothing smells and stays fresh longer. You can wear Snurck shirts multiple times without having to wash them. Our shirts are perfect for if you have sensitive skin. The breathable and thermo-regulating properties of bamboo fabric keep your body cool and dry on warm days and warm when it’s cold.

Why is bamboo better for the environment than cotton?

Bamboo is one of the most economical and ecological products in the world. Bamboo’s natural growth process requires a fraction of the time and resources that cotton requires for the same amount of clothing. Bamboo requires less land and water and does not need the artificial fertilizers and pesticides that cotton uses. Even organic cotton crops require large plantations and constant irrigation. Bamboo, on the other hand, can thrive on natural rainfall, requires less space because it grows upwards, can be harvested multiple times and does not need to be treated with pesticides because of its natural antibacterial properties.
