| Résumé : |
Not too long ago, deep in a cave in the Eurasian country of Georgia, archaeologists unearthed the world's oldest textile fibers : flax (linen) fibers dating back 30,000 years or more. Early humans recognized the importance of bast fibers and used the plant to revolutionize the way they made baskets, ropes, string and ultimately textiles. Fast forward to modern day and bast fibers have once again been identified as a novel fiber source - this time for the global nonwoven industry.
The nonwoven industry is undergoing a period of rapid change spurred on by growing awareness of the environmental damage caused by single-use plastics. Industry, brands, and consumers are searching for a truly natural fiber that doesn't sacrifice performance in favor of sustainability. Historically, bast fibers have played a small role in the nonwovens industry but recent advancements in fiber processing and innovation, led by Bast Fibre Technologies (BFT), now allow these fibers to become the corner¬stone fiber for nonwovens production. |
