BAMBOO AS A SUSTAINABLE FIBRE SOURCE
Unlike cotton or most timber, bamboo regrows fast after cutting, making it renewable. Bamboo crops are appreciated for their efficiency with space and water. They can have reduced need for pesticides and be grown in a diverse range of climates. As a naturally sourced fibre, it doesn’t hold the same biodegradability concerns as synthetic materials and the plants can produce more oxygen than alternative crops. All these factors together make bamboo crops an ideal choice as a sustainable fibre source.
These amazing new cord girths are now available in Australia through Toowoomba Saddlery and their distributors.
Mustang Bamtex girths supplied by Toowoomba Saddlery are made in the USA, and supplied with stainless steel hardware for added durability.
