TCTC adds environmentally friendly bamboo yarn to its sock and towel fabric offering
T
he Cotton Textile Company is taking the health of the planet seriously and as a result has added bamboo yarn and viscose to its sock and towel fabric offering.
Bamboo is a fantastic alternative to the production of cotton and performs well as a towel or garment because it is softer and doesnʼt pill in the same way as cotton yarns, it is odour resistant, is better at wicking moisture away from the body, is 40% more absorbent than cotton and contains naturally occurring antimicrobial, antifungal and antibacterial properties. While TCTCʼs core range of products already have a longer life expectancy than many other products, the team is now advocating the use of a raw material that will

● Per hectare, bamboo generates 60 tonne harvests versus 20 cotton tonnes. ● Requires 30% less water than cotton. ● Reduces the need for deforestation as it is harvested annually. ● Reduces soil erosion as it is cut rather than ʻdugʼ when harvested. ● Reduces the need for fertilisers as it is primarily an organic crop. ● Absorbs more CO2 than trees (in one hectare it absorbs 63 tonnes per year compared to 15 tonnes for trees).
● Generates 35% more oxygen than the same area of trees. ● When bamboo products reach the end of their life they can be composted.
