More On Non Conventional Fibres.
The many “abilities” of Non-Conventional Fibres -
SUSTAINABLE. AFFORDABLE. PROFITABLE. COMFORTABLE SUITABLE. DURABLE. FASHIONABLE. AVAILABLE. DESIRABLE
Non-conventional fibres are a viable but seldom used source for the textile industry. These are an alternative to conventional textile fibres such as cotton, jute, wool, silk, etc.
Non-conventional fibres are usually sourced from plants and animals. Bananas, hemp, coir, pineapple, etc., are plant fibres. Likewise, animal fibres include spider silk, pashmina, Angora rabbit, etc.
These fibres are “exotic” and “luxurious,” and stakeholders such as cultivators, textile mills, fashion houses, and retailers can earn substantial profits from their potential market. All who touch it will benefit from it.
