The diagram illustrates the process by which fabrics are made from bamboo.
Overall, the process of producing fabrics comprises nine stages, commencing with bamboo sprouts being planted and culminating in the production of clothes.
In the first stage, farmers plant bamboo in spring so they can be ready for harvesting by autumn. After waiting for about three months, the bamboo is finally ready to be harvested and processed further. Having been cut into smaller strips using a saw, the resulting strips are crushed until they take the shape of liquid pulp.
The process continues with the filtration of liquid pulp to separate the long fibers contained in the liquid, which is crucial for the next step. The fibers are then softened using water and amine oxide, after which they are made into yarn by spinning. In the penultimate stage, produced yarns are woven to make fabric. Finally, the fabric is the used to make clothes.
