Clothing/Textile – major market for eco fibers
Clothing/textile is a major application for the eco fibers market. Eco fibers are becoming the most popular type of fibers used in the clothing and apparel industry for properties similar to non-organic fibers. The two main functions performed by eco fibers in clothing are strength and comfort. Major fibers used in the clothing/textile application are organic cotton fibers, recycled fibers such as polyester, and regenerated fiber such as lyocell, viscose.
Among these, organic fibers are the most preferred fibers for clothing as they provide an optimum level of comfort and are best suited for maintaining a person’s health and well-being. Variations of fibers are also implemented to provide strength and color consistency to the fabric manufactured such as recycled cotton fibers along with rPET, cotton fibers along with virgin acrylic fibers, and so on.
