Heimtextil 24/25: Plant-based Textiles

Frankfurt — Plant-based textiles imply that their fibers originate from natural sources, growing rather than undergoing synthetic production. The ecological benefit of plant-based textiles lies in their natural origin, enabling easier integration into existing ecosystems. These textiles can be categorized into two distinct groups.
