Bamboo-using social businesses are part of the overall mission of ethical fashion is to create conditions in which certain more sustainable and fairly traded materials are considered cool and demand over less ethical products, like fur and diamonds, that are typically considered to be luxurious and always in style.
From water-funded fashion and energy-generating social tee shirts to sustainable wooden sunglasses, these bamboo-using social businesses are at the frontier of changing minds. The styles featured here range from a hippie-like earth child to sleek, clean and modern. What is more, not all of the innovations in this SocialBusiness.org top list are fashion either; we have featured conscious online marketplaces, accessible bicycles, baby toys, green energy walking sticks, toothbrushes and long boards.
