Abstract:
Plants are the source of plant fibers. These plant-based fibers are used to create fabrics. Natural fibers are sustainable materials which are easily available in nature and have advantages like low-cost, lightweight, renewability, biodegradability, and high specific properties. Such fibers are derived from various parts of plants including leaves, stems (bast fibers), fruits and seeds. Synthetic fibers are man-made fibers. The majority of them are petrochemicals because they are created using materials derived from petroleum. These fibers, which are used to create fabrics, can come from either natural or synthetic sources. Synthetic fibres do not absorb water or sweat melt and burn easily. On catching fire it shrink forming beads which stick to the skin. These fibres are non biodegradable. Synthetic fibers are far less sustainable, consuming 342 million barrels of oil and releasing 8,000,000 tons of plastic into the ocean every year in the form of microplastics. It can take up to 200 years for synthetic fibers to biodegrade into the earth. They are an allergen to some. So the increase in awareness of the damage caused by synthetic materials on the environment has led to the development of eco-friendly materials. In this study the natural fibers are extracted from those plants which are easily available and it has the potential to capture a good market share in the future.
