Abstract

As a result of the increasing world population, rapidly changing consumption habits and fashion trends, the textile and fashion industry has become one of the industries with the highest annual global environmental burden. It is of great significance to overcome the possible negative effects of textile production on the environment and to contribute to the sustainable fashion and textile industry by ensuring the responsible production of textile products. For this reason, the selection and use of sustainable, renewable, and biodegradable textile materials for each product produced in the textile industry can be seen as the first step toward sustainable production. Milkweed (Asclepias syriaca) fibers constitute an important raw material potential in every field of textile as daily textile products, composite textiles, and technical and functional textiles in terms of the properties they exhibit at this point. In this chapter, it was aimed to examine in detail the topics such as the place, importance, and application areas of milkweed fibers in sustainable fashion and textile production.
