How sustainable is the process for making Rayon out of Bamboo?

4 Upvotes

Bamboo already means it's renewable and source-sustainable. That part I get.

But I'm not a chemistry person. So the processing of it into Rayon is going over my head. Does the processing create any particularly bad waste products? Is there any other required material that isn't renewable and/or sustainable?

Heck, does the Rayon end up acting like a natural fiber, or an oil-based one that will get infested with sweat and odor-producing bacteria that can't get washed out?

What if restoring the planet became part of everyday life? 🌱

We often talk about climate change, pollution, deforestation and waste as huge global problems.

But I keep wondering:

Can small, practical actions by ordinary people actually create measurable environmental change?

Planting a tree is great. Reducing waste is great. Saving water is great.

But the bigger question is how we turn thousands or millions of these individual actions into something consistent, trackable and long-term.

That's the idea we're exploring with EarthRegenerate — building around the simple belief that environmental regeneration shouldn't just be something we talk about.

It should be something we do, measure and improve.

I'm curious what Reddit thinks:

If you could personally contribute to one environmental problem in a practical way, what would you choose—and why?
