Bamboo vs. Bamboo from Viscose

Bamboo is one of the most versatile and sustainable materials available today. It is fast-growing, abundant, and renewable, making it an excellent choice for a wide range of products, including eco diapers and baby wipes.

It is important to note that not all bamboo products are created equal! Some bamboo is processed using harsh chemicals to create bamboo viscose, which can have a negative environmental impact. To truly benefit from the eco-friendly properties of bamboo, it is best to choose products made from natural, unprocessed bamboo fibers, which is what we use for Terra Diapers and Baby Wipes.

Here are some of the key benefits of using bamboo (not Bamboo from Viscose) for diapers and baby wipes:

Sustainable and Renewable: Bamboo is a highly sustainable and renewable resource. It is the fastest-growing plant on the planet, with some species growing up to 36 inches in a single day. Bamboo can be harvested in just three to five years, compared to decades for many other trees, making it a more sustainable alternative to traditional diaper materials.

Biodegradable: Unlike synthetic materials such as plastic, bamboo is biodegradable. When bamboo products break down, they release nutrients back into the soil, making it a more eco-friendly option.

Antibacterial and Antifungal Properties: Bamboo has natural antibacterial and antifungal properties, making it an ideal material for diapers. These properties help prevent the growth of harmful bacteria and fungi, reducing the risk of diaper rash and other skin irritations.

Soft and Absorbent: Bamboo is naturally soft and absorbent, making it an ideal material for diapers. It is gentle on a baby's delicate skin and can absorb up to three times its weight in moisture, keeping babies dry and comfortable for longer.

Reduced Environmental Impact: By using bamboo, we can help reduce the environmental impact of production and disposal. Bamboo requires fewer resources to grow and harvest than other materials, and it is biodegradable, reducing the amount of waste that ends up in landfills.

While some diapers are made from bamboo viscose, the environmental benefits of using bamboo for diapers are even greater when the bamboo is used in its natural form, without chemical treatments or processing.  Unlike some ‘bamboo’ (from Viscose) baby wipes on the market, Terra Baby Wipes are made with 100% Bamboo, NOT from Viscose, so our products do not undergo harsh chemical processing.

In conclusion, using bamboo offers many environmental benefits, including sustainability, biodegradability, and reduced environmental impact. It is also a soft, absorbent, and gentle material that is perfect for babies' delicate skin. By choosing natural Terra Diapers and Wipes, we can help protect the environment while providing our little ones with the best possible care.
