Abstract
fibers are derived from natural resources and are an important commodity utilized by the textile
industry. When current supply and future demand are considered, repurposing agricultural
waste into fibers is an eco-friendly, appealing choice that may help to reduce environmental pollution and make the textile industry more sustainable. We explained in this review numerous
possible secondary sources for Fiber production, with a case study involving banana plant residual
biomass, a major agricultural waste in many developing nations. Banana pseudo-stem Fibers, which have exceptional physical and mechanical qualities, are increasingly recognized as essential textile
materials. Because of its high cellulose content, good to moderate strength, fineness, Fiber length-tobreath ratio, and other properties. Banana Fibers are used in a variety of industries, including textiles,
composites, and automobiles. Furthermore, banana Fibers may be used to make apparel such as dresses, shirts, and rugs, as well as bags, handbags, wallets, purses, belts, shoes, and so on. Banana
Fiber may also be used as a reinforced-polymer composite, which is rapidly being used in a wide
range of applications because it offers an environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternative to
conventional petroleum-derived materials as well as has enhanced physical properties.
