Sustainable Fibres for Fashion and Textile Manufacturing presents the latest technical information about innovative natural and synthetic materials, helping the reader to understand sustainable fibres and raw materials for fashion and textile manufacturing.

With a particular focus on apparel manufacturing, different applications of sustainable fibres are explored along with manufacturing techniques and details of the material properties. New research investigating nontraditional sources of textile fibres such as lotus, orange, milk, seaweed, corn, and mushroom are all presented, providing a uniquely comprehensive resource. Drawing on work by contributors from a variety of fields and roles in industry and academia, this book shares solutions and new perspectives on this interdisciplinary topic more widely in the hope of leading to research breakthroughs.
