The production process

1. The bamboo is grown organically without fertilizers or pesticides and without irrigation, only rainwater is used.
2. Harvesting the bamboo
   First, the green shoots are cut into chunks of raw bamboo.
3. Closed Loop System
   Next, the bamboo is soaked in a softening agent using a closed loop system — all liquid is recycled and solvents etc. 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 sheets.
5. Grinding the bamboo sheets
   When the bamboo sheets are completely dry, they are ground into a soft, hairy material.
6. Bamboo fabric is made:
   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 fabric waste compared to traditional cut and sew production, which wastes up to 20% more fabric
7. The Boody end result!
   And so a silky fabric is created processed as underwear. It feels natural, soft and qualitative. Finally, the packaging is made of recycled paper and printed with vegetable ink.

Boody information

In light of recent media attention to the bamboo textile industry, we would like to provide more information about our production process in the hope of reassuring all BOODY stakeholders.

BOODY's philosophy is unique and we are very proud of it. First of all, Boody is not "Fast Fashion". Boody has a fixed collection and therefore does not have seasonal changes in the assortment. To prevent waste, only "made to order" is produced. In addition, we spend a lot of time on every detail of the production process to ensure that 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 labeled as "viscose" or "rayon", made by soaking organically grown bamboo with a mixture of sodium hydroxide and carbon disulfide.

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 disposed of (not released into the environment or exposed to workers) before it is spun into yarn. Our factory holds a valid certificate 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 fiber has been tested for residual chemicals or toxins that could be harmful to your health. You can read more about OEKO-TEX 100 by following this link .

Our products are made in China, Vietnam or India. We also have our Boody Supplier Code of Conduct that is visible to everyone. It is signed by all our suppliers and guarantees that they adhere to it and align their processes accordingly.

Boody Code of Conduct

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