Naturally Bamboo is another retailer that I came upon at the Outdoor Retailer Convention last week. I was very impressed not only with their product but also with their operations.

All of their products and manufactured using 100% organic cotton, Bamboo or Cotton-Bamboo blends. The raw material is harvested in China from Moso bamboo that is grown on family farms. This is not wild bamboo or feed bamboo for Pandas. It grows far too tall for them to eat. The yarn developed from the bamboo is then sent to California where it is woven into fabric and then the designs are sewn from that fabric. Currently they operate the production facilities outside of Los Angeles, but will soon be moving them home to Minnesota.

In an effort to reduce their footprint further they have also purchase yearly wind energy credits to offset 100% of their power consumption in their sewing facilities using Native Energy as the source. Their office power is also from Wind Sources and is purchased through Xcel Energy.

It is very impressive to see a newer company making such impressive strides from the start! For more information or to purchase the product, please visit their website here.
