Chalmers University of Technology research shows that agricultural residues from wheat and oats can serve as sustainable alternatives to wood pulp for cellulose-based textiles. This process is simpler and less chemical-intensive than traditional methods, adding value to underused crop byproducts. With cotton’s high environmental impact, non-wood biomass offers a promising, resource-efficient raw material for textile production.
