The Rise of Bio-Fabrication: Sustainable Alternatives for Traditional Textiles
Author(s): Boran Gruda*
The growing environmental concerns surrounding the textile industry have spurred significant interest in sustainable alternatives, and one of the most promising solutions is bio-fabrication. Bio-fabrication, which involves the use of living organisms and biological processes to produce materials, is emerging as a revolutionary method for creating textiles that are both environmentally friendly and functional. Traditional textile production relies heavily on petrochemical-based fibers, synthetic dyes, and water-intensive processes, all of which contribute to environmental degradation. In contrast, bio-fabrication leverages natural processes, such as fermentation, plant-based production, and the use of microorganisms, to create sustainable alternatives to conventional fabri..
