Abstract

Today’s world is increasingly environmentally conscious and natural clothing, lifestyles are advancing. The inclination towards eco-friendly textile alternatives and the emergence of innovative fabrics is vivid. Today’s growing concerns are health, sustainability of waste management and environmental awareness which is reflecting on renewed interest in plant fibers. The hunt is on for ecologically friendly fabrics. The movement toward trendy organic fashions and alternative fashion has led to the revival and revision of traditional fibers with natural and organic approaches. New fibers are being developed and are valued for their sustainable and biodegradable characteristics. Sisal fiber offers excellent market potential in terms of its eco-friendly properties as compared with other natural and man-made fibers. For these reasons enzyme treated fiber was processed separately to produce yarns that were used for making treated and untreated fabrics.
