Bamboo in the Bath – Ideas For Your Hospitality Needs

Managing or starting up an eco spa? Trying to “green” your fitness center? Launching a new green hotel? Then this may be for you.
Pro Towels has released a new line of towels made from bamboo. They are lovely and great for any spa or water related business with a green agenda.
Bamboo as a woven material is popping up more and more in the industry. I would say it feels closer to silk than cotton and is being used in bags, totes, shirts, the usual suspects.
The Pro Towel Bamboo Collection advertises itself as a 35″x60″, heavyweight, twill hemmed and looped finished towel of 100% bamboo. Colors available are Sandalwood, Ivory, Leaf Green and Pure White.
The pitch is the same as always. Bamboo is “one of the world’s most prolific and fastest-growing plants making it nature’s most sustainable resources” and 100% biodegradable. Pro Towel also points out they use organic (natural) bamboo so that means it is grown without any pesticides or chemicals.
These towels are not cheap, running nearly $30 per unit (including 8K stitches of embroidery) and certainly fall into the luxury category for promotional items. A standard towel would run closer to $18 per unit. Pro Towels also has released robes made of the same Bamboo material.
