This is where we’re different from other bamboo apparel companies. To make Nomo™ Clean Bamboo fiber, we mix our raw bamboo pulp with a non-toxic organic solvent solution. This process of converting bamboo pulp into fiber is called the lyocell process. The organic compound NMMO isolates the cellulose, leaving us with a thick mixture which is sent through a shower head-like fixture (a spinaret) and rendered into filament form. What comes out is our Nomo™ Clean Bamboo fiber. Throughout the lyocell process, the organic compound is 99% recovered and recycled or reused.
