Bamboo releases more oxygen: Bamboo release 35% more oxygen than equivalent stands of trees. An acre of bamboo can sequester 25 tons of carbon dioxide per year, compared to only 6 tons from a young forest. Global annual production of bamboo pulp is 1.5 million metric tons, with 80% from China and India. 

Bamboo help in reducing global warming: Bamboo is sustainable because it is planted once and then harvested on a periodic rotation.
To reduce global warming Bamboo not only does sequester more CO2, but there is also much less use of tractors (and carbon fuels) in growing bamboo than cotton. Bamboo can be successfully grown domestically and, indeed, produce twice as much fiber then other trees. Additionally, we know that bamboo can be four times as good as timber at addressing the greenhouse issues. 

Bamboo is softer:  Bamboo could be woven into the world's softest fabric. The cloth from bamboo is as soft as silk and contains natural antimicrobial agents. Bamboo is especially recommended for sensitive skin due to its luster, ultra-soft and anti-static properties.

Bamboo consumes less chemicals: The process for making bamboo pulp is ECF (elemental chlorine-free). India is the biggest producer of cotton (6,423 thousand metric tons of production). Growing cotton uses more chemicals than any other crop. In fact, 45% of all pesticides used in India agriculture is applied to cotton. Bamboo, on the other hand, creates it's own antibacterial agent, and there are no disease or insect issues with bamboo that is the reason it requires no pesticides.

Bamboo consumes less water: The process of growing bamboo versus growing cotton is much less water-intensive. Bamboo requires one-third amount of water to grow than is necessary for cotton. Bamboo has always been a self-sufficient crop that needs no irrigation and uses water much more efficiently than cotton. In fact, while bamboo uses only 12 gallons of water to produce one pound of fabric, cotton requires over 200 times more.

Bamboo is a self-replenishing resource: One of the magical qualities of bamboo is that it rarely, if ever, needs replanting. The plant will almost miraculously sprout on its own with one acre of bamboo yielding 10 times more than one acre of cotton. Disadvantage of Cotton is that it needs to be harvested each year.

Bamboo grows at incredible speeds: Bamboo sticks actually grow incredibly fast. Certain species of bamboo can grow up to 91 cm (3 feet) within a 24-hour period, ta the rate of almost 4 cm per hour. The rapid growth of bamboo allows the plant to be fully harvestable within 3-4 years all while replenishing the crop on its own.

Bamboo is more absorbent, clean, and breathable: Our body emits moisture and sweat onto the fabric. Bamboo can take in three times more water than its weight and is 40% more absorbent than even the finest organic cotton, it keeps moisture away from the skin much faster to make you dry and comfortable. The bamboo antimicrobial property called “Bamboo Kun”  helps reduce bacteria that thrive on materials as well as on the human skin. These amazing characteristics help regulate your body temperature, helping you stay cooler, drier, and cleaner at whole day.
 

UV rays protection: Bamboo has 60% higher UV rays protection than cotton. UV rays cause premature ageing of the skin and signs of sun damage such as wrinkles, leathery skin, liver spots, actinic keratosis, and solar elastosis. Indirectly we can say it is anti-ageing and protect skin and hairs health. The countries have higher UV levels are Peru, Bolivia, Chile and Argentina New Zealand and Australia. These have the highest incidence rate for melanoma in the world. 

Bamboo has Anti-Bacterial properties: Japanese scientists have found, is a unique anti-bacterial agent of bamboo named “bamboo kun”. This substance, combined with the tight molecular structure of bamboo fibres, are believed to give it its anti-bacterial and bacteriostatic properties – which is not diminished even after more than 50 washes! Introduced bacteria on the bamboo fabric were reduced to less than 0.2% of the introduced number in 24 hours whilst introduced bacteria on cotton fabric multiplied to 550 times the introduced number, also in 24 hours. Post Covid-19 societies are very conscious about health and looking forward to anti-bacterial and healthy lifestyle products.

Bamboo is anti-odour: Body odour results from gases produced by bacteria which live on the waste which is exuded from our bodies – sweat and dead skin cells which our bodies give off constantly as a perfectly natural part of living. Some people have much smellier feet and underarms than most because they shed more dead cells from their feet and underarms than others or they have specific personal bacteria which give off that offensive smell. In such a situation, Bamboo products are the right choice from intimate wear, Innerwear to sportswear. In Bamboo products, any moisture (sweat) is immediately absorbed and taken away from the skin

That demand for Bamboo is growing exponentially. There is now an increasing interest of the Indian government in growing more bamboo which could be a sustainable supply of organic fiber for textiles. India is the second-largest producer of Bamboo in the world after China. The yearly bamboo production in the country is estimated at around 3.23 million tons.
