Thanks. I do mention bamboo in other posts, and I agree that bamboo is a very fast-growing plant with minimal water and pesticide requirements. Thanks very much for sharing that information.

I am curious as to why you left out bamboo. While bamboo cellulose also requires harsh chemicals like Tencel and Modal manufacturing process, it offers huge benefits in terms of fabric drape and softness. Just like the trees used in manufacturing Modal and Tencel , bamboo grows wild thriving only on rain water and no chemical fertilizers and pesticides. However, what separates bamboo from all others is the unique property of fastest growth. Based on these properties, it seems like bamboo is the source of the most sustainable or renewable man made fabric. It would be interesting to know your views as a subject matter expert.
