Wood

Wood, an organic material that is typically not associated with the textile industry, can play a vital role in its value chain, particularly in sustainable fashion. Wooden fibers, especially from sustainably managed forests, can be processed to create fabrics like Lyocell and Rayon. These fibers, often praised for their softness and moisture-wicking properties, are utilized to create a range of textile products such as clothes, bed linens, and upholstery. In addition, wood is frequently used in the infrastructure of the industry, from the frames of looms to the pallets and packaging used in the transportation and storage of textile goods.
