Regenerated bamboo, abbreviated CBAM, is similar to viscose. Bamboo fiber and starchy pulp are made from bamboo that grows widely throughout Asian countries. Starchy pulp is a refined product of bamboo stems and leaves through a process of hydrolysis-alkalization and multi-phase bleaching. Factories then process it into bamboo fiber.
