Fibers come from natural and fossil resources and are an essential commodity widely used by textile industries. Considering current supply and future demands, the repurposing of agricultural residues into fibers is an eco-friendly, attractive option that might mitigate environmental pollution. In this review, we have summarized multiple alternate secondary sources for fiber production, with a case study using banana plant residual biomass, a common agricultural waste in many developing countries. Specifically, in this review we have compared the different processing methods, e.g., chemical, mechanical, or biological methods, for repurposing agricultural residual biomass (including banana waste) into fibers. The development and analysis of an integrated biorefinery approach is needed to promote the fiber production from various agro-residual biomasses within the framework of circular bioeconomic concepts.
纤维来源于天然和化石资源，是纺织工业广泛使用的重要商品。考虑到当前的供应和未来的需求，将农业残留物重新利用制成纤维是一种环保且有吸引力的选择，可能会减轻环境污染。在本综述中，我们总结了多种纤维生产的替代二次来源，并以香蕉植物残余生物质为例进行了研究，香蕉植物残余生物质是许多发展中国家常见的农业废弃物。具体而言，在本综述中，我们比较了将农业残余生物质（包括香蕉废弃物）重新利用制成纤维的不同加工方法，如化学法、机械法或生物法。需要开发和分析综合生物炼制方法，以在循环生物经济概念的框架内促进从各种农业残余生物质中生产纤维。
