The Truth About Bamboo and Viscose Hemp Clothing

There is a dangerous alternative to natural hemp fiber called, “Viscose Hemp”. It is more akin to Rayon, a semi-synthetic cellulosic fiber that undergoes intense chemical processing. Did you know that over one hundred and twenty chemicals are utilized in the production of viscose hemp? Over 120 different chemicals are required to produce, "Viscose Hemp" including formaldehyde and benzenes. What comes out afterwards is a material that is so TOXIC - the lab can't even tell you what it's derived from. Meaning that there is no plant material remaining after it has been third party tested. Because of this, viscose hemp doesn't have the performance and durability that hemp is known for. Here’s the other part no one wants to hear, all bamboo is produced using a viscose process. Bamboo is not sustainable. Viscose Hemp is not sustainable. Recycled Polyester is not sustainable. There’s really only one option if you want to reverse the negatives - Natural and Mechanically Processed Industrial Hemp Fiber. www.envirohoodies.com If you are finding "Hemp" tee shirts for $8.00 wholesale, or seeing shirts on Amazon for $20.00 - I regret to inform you that this is gas station level quality.
