Consumers and industries are increasingly opting for alternatives to synthetic fibers, which contribute to environmental degradation and carry high carbon footprints. Natural fibers such as cotton, flax, hemp, jute, and wool are not only biodegradable and renewable but also provide superior comfort, breathability, and durability.

Governments and regulatory bodies across the globe are encouraging the use of natural fibers through supportive policies, incentives, and awareness campaigns. This has led to a significant boost in the adoption of natural fibers, especially in the fashion and textile industries, where demand for eco-friendly products continues to rise. These fibers are now widely used in clothing, home furnishings, and a range of industrial applications.
