bamboo fiber

Grass-derived fabric material

Bamboo fiber is textile material derived from bamboo plants, processed into a soft fabric often marketed as eco-friendly and naturally antibacterial.

Most commercial bamboo fabric is actually rayon made by chemically dissolving bamboo pulp: These sheets are made from bamboo fiber.

The term appears frequently in bedding, towels, and activewear marketing.
