Hailed as one of the most eco-friendly materials, bamboo is a great alternative to plastic. Besides being durable and biodegradable, it doesn’t need too much water for production as opposed to other natural fibres. And the best part? It’s available in abundance right over here! Notably, India is the second richest country (only after China) in the world with regards to bamboo diversity with 136 species.
It also accounts for over 14.5 million tonnes of bamboo production annually. Today, there are many fashion, beauty and lifestyle brands making products from this versatile material.
