Abstract

The increasing environmental concerns associated with synthetic polymers have prompted a shift towards sustainable alternatives in the textile industry, particularly in nonwoven fabrics. Lignocellulosic fibers, derived from natural plant sources, have emerged as promising candidates due to their excellent mechanical properties, biodegradability, and lower environmental impact. This study provides a comprehensive examination of lignocellulosic fibers as eco-friendly substitutes for synthetic materials in nonwoven textiles. It covers the extraction techniques, properties, and functionalization processes of cellulose and nanocellulose to enhance fiber performance in nonwoven applications. The review also discusses various manufacturing processes for producing nonwoven textiles, highlighting their potential in sectors such as medical textiles, filtration, and geotextiles. Furthermore, it explores the environmental and economic advantages of adopting lignocellulosic-based nonwovens, along with the performance standards and testing methodologies that ensure their quality. The findings underscore the growing significance of lignocellulosic fibers in advancing sustainable practices within the textile industry.
