The diagram illustrates how bamboo fabric is produced.
Overall, the process involves several stages, beginning with planting bamboo and ending with the final product, with both mechanical processes, which include harvesting, cutting, and crushing bamboo, and chemical treatment, which includes filtering fibers and adding liquids, occurring along the way.
First, the process starts in spring when the bamboo plants are planted. Next, in autumn, the plants are harvested and transported to a cutter where they are cut into strips, followed by crushing these strips in order to obtain liquid pulp, which represents the final step in the mechanical process.
Then, this liquid is transported to a filter where it separates long fibers from the liquid, then water and amine oxide are added to the fibers in order to obtain softer ones. Finally, fibers are transformed into spun fibers to facilitate the last step, which is weaving to make fabric, resulting in pieces of clothing made from bamboo plants.
