Clean Bamboo is the world's first nontoxic bamboo fabric and has superior wicking, cooling, and antimicrobial properties compared to conventional materials. Pure Bamboo can be blended with other fibres to create a variety of functional benefits. Eco-conscious fashion brands are using it to replace traditional textiles in their existing lines. The global team for Clean Bamboo is based in Los Angeles due to the overlap of business hours with Asia, as well as the growing startup culture and focus on fashion innovation. This has allowed the company to have a positive global perspective when serving its consumers.
