Material summary

Brentano’s Bamboo cloth is 100% biodegradable. The bamboo plant is a rapidly renewable plant species that requires little to no pesticides and has antibacterial and anti-fungal properties. Furthermore, the extensive root system reduces the need for replanting using diesel-emitting machinery for planting and tilling. The plant also absorbs more of the greenhouse gas CO2 and produces more oxygen than an equivalent amount of trees.

Environmental attributes

• Bamboo is a rapidly renewable resource.
• The extensive root system reduces the need for replanting using diesel-emitting machinery for planting and tilling.
• The plant is particularly apt at absorbing the greenhouse gas CO2 and producing oxygen.
• The material has the ability to quickly absorb dyestuffs, which results in less water used during the dyeing process.

Technical information

The cloth is used primarily for upholstery. The dye used to produce Brentano’s pattern Bamboo Cloth is compliant with Oeko-Tex 100 Standards and the facility that weaves Bamboo Cloth complies with the most stringent laws set by the German Federal Environmental Agency.
