It is a shame that a plant that has so much potential to be a sustainable resource is being mislabeled and falsely advertised. It is also a shame since bamboo linens are so delightfully soft.

I was in a top notch grad school textiles class when this fiber 'hit the scene'. Our own research revealed a technical process no more green than the rest.

I guess the uproar is that rayon itself is not eco-friendly, unless they go through certain air/water/pollutant cleaning processes. Well, Icy, wood pulp or lintner pulp rayon STILL uses chemicals.
