I love bamboo as a plant and his endless possibilities. I have however asked myself many questions about the bamboo clothing. This article proves that other people are doing the same and are looking for better solutions for the planet, even if there are still a few hazards to overcome.

Like you, I wonder about the energy output required to heat large amounts of bamboo into charcoal. Also, how are the fibers created, and is that process any better for the environment than the viscose process currently in use? I do wonder why more companies aren't investing in creating fabrics from the actual bamboo fibers, the way hemp and linen are made. Thanks for posting this!

It's one of the most widely grown bamboos for commercial purposes, and is grown not just in Taiwan, but all over East Asia; here is some information about bamboo production in Vietnam, for instance: http://www.bioversityinternational.org/publications/Web_version/572/ch33.htm So that, at least, is presumably not a concern with regards to Greenyarn.
