Questions I get asked
Here are the most common questions I hear about bamboo sheets.
Both start as bamboo pulp, but processing differs dramatically. Rayon/viscose uses carbon disulfide and sodium hydroxide baths that release pollutants and pose worker safety risks. Lyocell (TENCEL) uses closed-loop processing where 99%+ of solvents are recovered and recycled. Lyocell is more environmentally responsible and typically produces a superior fabric. R3 strongly prefers lyocell-processed bamboo sheets.
