Snickers Workwear grows bamboo for use in revolutionary clothing

Snickers Workwear Ireland has begun growing bamboo on Irish farms for use in its innovative work clothing range, manufactured using the plant’s nano-carbons.

The local Irish arm of the Swedish clothing company, Snickers has purchased several fields close to its headquarters in Ballymount, Co Dublin, for planting with the Asian bamboo crop.

Snicker’s Workwear Ireland managing director David Macken said: “People seem bamboozled by our move into eco-farming, but it is to become just another part of our extensive research and development process.
