What are the benefits of Bamboo socks?
Benefit of Bamboo socks #1: Environmentally Friendly

Bamboo plants absorb large amounts of Carbon-dioxide (a green-house gas that contributes to climate change).
Produce oxygen
Photosynthesis is the process whereby plants create oxygen.Bamboo is one of the most efficient plants at this process. Producing approximately 30-35% more oxygen than similar trees.

Bamboo requires close to 30% less water to grow than similar fibres such as cotton.
Sustainable
Bamboo re-grows at such a fast rate (has a Guinness world record for the fastest grower on the planet!) It is a renewable source of material.
No pesticides
Due to Bamboo’s antimicrobial properties, the plant itself can be grown without the use of any harsh chemicals or pesticides.
