Why Bamboo Ski Goggles are the Future of Winter Sports

 

Natural recycle material and bio degradable material becomes main focus topics for many fashion products especially ski goggle. One of the most linkable sustainable materials remains to be bamboo. We see bamboo applying to varieties of products such as chopsticks, furniture, chopping boards, toothbrush, drink plates, or kitchen towel.

Bamboo is tropical and subtropical plant, which has long history with human and animal development five thousand years ago, it continues to serve as source of food, food, forage, timber, bioenergy and construction materials contemporarily. It grows 46 inches in 24 hours. Some of the major wood bamboo can grow about 30 m (100 ft) tall, and be as huge as 250–300 mm (10–12 in) in diameter. It keeps sounding better and better.
