The production process

1. The bamboo is grown organically without fertilizers or pesticides and without irrigation, only rainwater comes in handy.

2. Harvesting the Bamboo
First, the green shoots are cut into chunks of raw bamboo.

3. Closed Loop System
The bamboo is then soaked in an emollient by means of a softener. a closed loop system — all liquid is recycled and solvents and o and removed to ensure the process is as environmentally friendly as the bamboo.

4. Drying out the bamboo
The dehydration process helps us to extract the bamboo pulp from the bamboo which is then dried into flat plates.

5. Grinding the bamboo skins
When the bamboo skins are completely dry, they are ground into a soft and hairy material.

6. Bamboo Fabric Comes Up:
The soft material is pressed and twisted into viscose yarn that we use to knit our garments. The garments are knitted in tubes, resulting in little waste of fabric compared to traditional cutting and sewing production, which wastes up to 20% more fabric

7. The Boody End result!
And so a silky soft fabric is created, processed as underwear. It feels natural, soft and quality. Finally, the packaging is made from recycled paper and printed with vegetable inks.

Boody information

In light of recent media coverage of the bamboo textile industry, we would like to provide more information about our production process with the expectation of reassuring all BOODY interested parties.

BOODY's philosophy is unique and we are very proud of that. First of all, Boody is not ''Fast Fashion''. Boody has a fixed collection and therefore does not have seasonal changes in the range. To avoid waste, we only produce ''made to order''. We also spend a huge amount of time on every detail of the production process to ensure it is as environmentally friendly as possible.

We are proud that the raw bamboo we use to make Boody's bamboo viscose yarn is certified as organically grown by Ecocert.

Boody Production process 

Our fabric is man-made. Boody bamboo yarn is labelled as "viscose" or "rayon", made by soaking organically grown bamboo with a mixture of sodium hydroxide and carbon disulphide.

Although solvents are used to break down the fibre, our bamboo is processed in a closed-loop system. This means that all water and chemicals involved in the process are recycled and removed (not released into the environment or exposed to workers) before being spun into yarn. Our factory has a valid certificate according to ISO140001 - this is the international standard that specifies the requirements for an effective environmental management system (EMS).

After this process, no residual chemicals remain in the fabric. Our yarn is OEKO-TEX 100 certified and carries the "Confidence in Textiles" certification, which verifies that the finished fibre has been tested for residual chemicals or toxins that may be harmful to your health. If you follow this link, you can read more about OEKO-TEX 100.

Our products are made in China, Vietnam or India. We also have our Boody code of conduct for suppliers that is visible to all. This is signed by all our suppliers and guarantees that they adhere to it and adjust their processes accordingly.

Boody Code of Conduct 

The closed-loop process itself is carried out in a safe manner - all employees involved in this stage of production receive proper training. We inspect our production partners annually and we are satisfied with their treatment of workers, state-of-the-art production lines and their alignment of their overall business model with ours.
