    My understanding was the fibers can also be broken down as raw fiber like with paper and drawn into thread as well. I should have stated raw bamboo I’ll edit my post thanks for the correction

      Gotcha. I do have a few bamboo derived items, but I believe they are all rayon fabrics. It feels like another thing that has been greenwashed. I’m not sure if harvesting bamboo for stock is better than wood or any other source of cellulose, but it’s discouraging to know that what does break down is just as bad as plastic.
