How is rayon made from bamboo?

Bamboo based rayon fabrics are made by taking cellulose from bamboo stalks and grinding it to a wood pulp. The wood pulp is then converted to a thick liquid called “slurry” by using a natural occurring chemical, amine oxide. The slurry is then pushed through tiny holes to make continuous strands of fiber, of whatever thickness is required to make the thread in the next step. The continuous strands of fiber are then cut to the length of a high quality cotton fiber and ring spun, just as cotton would be. This thread is then used to weave rayon textiles. What are the benefits to the environment? -Bamboo requires very little effort to grow. -It is produced without the use of harsh insecticides, serious pollutants or land degradation and manufactured with minimal chemical input. -Bamboo is the most renewable resource on our planet, and provides an abundance of usable oxygen making it a crucial element in the balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. -It cleans the air.
