THE USE OF BAMBOO FIBER IN BABY CLOTHING FROM THE POINT OF SUSTAINABILITY AND LIFE-CYCLE PROCESSES

Abstract

This work mainly deals with the relation between sustainability and (sustainable) textile product design. The particular interest is on the product life cycles such that a comprehensive investigation is made for ecologically viable textile products. The discussion of processes associated with the product life cycles is made from the ecological point of view. A particular investigation is made to exhibit the advantages of the use of bamboo as an eco-fiber. Specifically, the work focuses on some bamboo-made textile products in baby clothing. Finally, lifecycle processes for a bamboo-made baby clothing are illustrated.
