Biomass fibers are obtained from renewable biomass resources such as natural animal and plant fibers, recycled fibers and synthetic fibers. As resources of textile raw materials are diminishing, developing biomass fibres will prove to be an important step in expanding the market of sustainable textiles. Also, using biomass fibres will be an effective method in establishing sustainable fibres in the textile industry.
Natural fibres are produced in all the countries of the world. Various products like textiles, ropes, brushes, carpets, mattresses, mats, paper, board materials, etc. are manufactured from it. The development of renewable, biodegradable biomass fiber also promotes the growth of the chemical fiber industry. Currently in China, the biomass fiber industry has developed considerably. It produces over 200 million tons of biomass fibres. With such large biomass fiber resources, it paves way to significant development of this industry.
