Life Wear® Bamboo

Facts about the Life Wear® Bamboo brand

This brand specializes in organic bamboo viscose grown organically and of high quality. Previously, the products went by the name of Walking Bamboo. In order to streamline the brand from Walking, which is a brand for clothing in other materials, Life Wear® Bamboo was created.

If you have previously purchased products from the Walking Bamboo brand, only the label is different. The products are the same.

The company that owns the brand is called Wiges AB and is located in Kinna between Gothenburg and Borås. It is a Swedish company that has been around since 1977.

What then distinguishes Life Wear® Bamboo from other bamboo viscos sold out in the trade? First and foremost, it is the research and life-cycle analysis that the company has done together with the independent research institute Swerea IVF to produce a proven environmentally friendly product. The report is based on studies from bamboo plant to finished garments and is available here:

The entire cultivation and production process is thus well documented and makes it easy to compare with other sources and materials. But it is not possible to compare materials directly because it depends entirely on how it is grown and manufactured. Of course, other materials can be environmentally produced. Buying Life Wear® Bamboo, however, provides a security when compared to just buying bamboo clothing without knowing how it was grown and manufactured.

In addition to a documented production of products, there are some obvious benefits of bamboo fibers listed here:

1. Does not consume arable land as it grows on slopes
2. Does not need to be irrigated but survive on rain water which can be compared to 10-20 cubic meters of water per kg cotton
3. Need no fertilizer
4. Do not spray to control pests
5. Harvested by hand
6. Provides about 20 times more fiber per area than cotton

Everything still depends on how the bamboo viscose is made just like with other materials. Therefore, it is important to have documentation on the entire process. That's what you get when you buy Life Wear® Bamboo.
