Natural Fiber Overview

NATURAL FIBER HIGHLIGHTS

*Draft project report only for reference.

► There is a diverse range of natural fibres produced by farmers throughout the world

► Natural fibres may be classified as cellulosic (from plants), protein (from animals), and mineral

► Plant fibres may be seed hairs, such as cotton; bast (stem) fibres, such as linen; leaf fibres, such as sisal; and husk fibres, such as coconut

► The animal fibres are wool, hair, fur, and secretions, such as silk

► Natural fibers are generally considered to be more environmentally friendly than synthetics in their production and disposal

► Close to 30 million tones of natural fibres are produced annually in the world, of which cotton is dominant with 20 million tones, wool and jute each around 2 to 3 million tones followed by a number of others

► Most countries produce some natural fibres; for some developing countries natural fibres are of major economic importance, for example, cotton in some West African countries, jute in Bangladesh and sisal in Tanzania

► In other cases these fibres are of less significance at the national level but are of major local importance within the country, as in the case of jute in West Bengal (India) and sisal in north-east Brazil

► Proceeds from the sale and export of natural fibres often contribute significantly to the income and food security of poor farmers and processors in the least developed countries

► The uses of natural fibers range from high priced apparel to industrial applications and in most if not all of these applications they are subject to competition from synthetic substitutes

Types of Natural Fibres (1/3)


Cotton ► The world produces around 25 million tones of cotton annually

► China, the United States, Pakistan, India, Uzbekistan, Turkey and

Brazil are the major producers, with more than 80 countries

recording some production

► Global trade in raw cotton amounts to more than 7 million tones

annually, much of which is imported by processing and

manufacturing countries, which subsequently re-export it in the

form of textiles and clothing

► Cotton is used largely for apparel, with some also used in

upholstery, curtains, etc., and some in industrial applications


Wool► Annual wool production has been around 2.2 million tones, with

production recorded in almost 100 countries

► Australia produces around 25% of this total, other countries

include China, New Zealand, Iran, Argentina, the UK and India

► Exports of greasy plus scoured wool amount to around 800,000

tones annually and, like cotton, much of this is imported to

processing countries for manufacture and subsequent re-export

(FAOSTAT). Wool is used largely for apparel, with coarser types

used for bedding, for upholstery and for carpets

Jute► India produces 60% of the world’s jute, with Bangladesh being the

other major producer

► Other countries, including Myanmar and Nepal, produce much

smaller quantities

► Kenaf, a fiber very similar to jute, is produced in smaller quantities

of around 500,000 tones in a number of countries predominantly

in Asia. Traditionally jute and kenaf have been used to

manufacture packaging materials like hessian, sacking, ropes,

twines, carpet backing cloth etc.

► In recent years new technologies have been evolved for the use of

jute, as a raw material in the production of high value added and

price competitive intermediaries or final products.

Sisal, Henequen and

similar hard fibres

► In recent years, production of sisal, henequen and similar hard

fibres has been around 300 000 tones

► These fibres are produced from the leaf of the agave and similar

species mainly in Africa (Kenya, Tanzania and Madagascar) & Latin

America (Brazil, Mexico, Haiti, Venezuela, and Cuba) and in China

► Traditionally these fibers have been used for cordage, particularly

for baler twine, and for sacking, but more recently, in the face of

competition from synthetic materials in these applications, they

have been finding markets in a range of uses including carpets,

composite materials, and paper pulp


Silk► Silk production has amounted to around 135,000 tones annually

in recent years

► As with many other natural fibres, China is the dominant producer

► Other producers include countries, such as India, Vietnam,

Thailand, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and Brazil

► Silk is produced from cocoons of the silk-producing moth,

commonly called the "silkworm."

► The cocoon, formed from an unbroken fibre secreted from the

caterpillar's body, is gathered and the fibre unwound

Hemp ► Hemp is a bast fibre similar to flax, kenaf, jute and ramie, used for

textiles, cordage and fine paper products

► The wood-like core fibre can be used for animal bedding, garden

mulch, fuel and an assortment of building materials

► Hemp is a distinct variety of the plant species cannabis sativa L.

Although both plants are from the species cannabis, hemp

contains virtually no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active

ingredient in marijuana

► Due to the similar leaf shape, hemp is frequently confused with

marijuana, and for this reason hemp production is restricted or

prohibited in many countries.

► China, Spain, Korea, Russia and Chile being other major producers

21 May 2019



Flax ► In recent years, production of sisal, henequen and similar hard

fibres has been around 300 000 tones

► These fibres are produced from the leaf of the agave and similar

species mainly in Africa (Kenya, Tanzania and Madagascar) & Latin

America (Brazil, Mexico, Haiti, Venezuela, and Cuba) and in China

► Traditionally these fibers have been used for cordage, particularly

for baler twine, and for sacking, but more recently, in the face of

competition from synthetic materials in these applications, they

have been finding markets in a range of uses including carpets,

composite materials, and paper pulp


Nettle ► Urtica dioica, often called common nettle, stinging nettle or nettle

leaf, is a herbaceous perennial flowering plant in the family

Urticaceae

► It is native to Europe, Asia, northern Africa, and North America,

and introduced elsewhere

► The plant has a long history of use as a source for traditional

medicine, food, tea, and textile raw material in ancient societies

Natural Fiber – Himalayan Nettle (1/4)

HIMALAYAN NETTLE

Overview► Family: Urticaceae

► Species: Hytrophylla/ Diversifolia

► Parts Used: Stem, roots and leaves

► Habitat: Waste ground and shrubberie 800- 2700 metre in the

Himalayas

► Himalayan Nettle is a grass species, the plant is found in the upper

reaches of Himalayas, the plant can attain a height of 12 to 18

feet

► The Plant has been generally found in broad leaf forests, having a

high leaf litter fall

► Different pockets of Uttarakhand have traditionally used the plant

fibre for making domestic products like ropes and other rope

based products such as slippers

► Despite its armoured exterior, the fibres inside are surprisingly

ideal for textile production

► The fibres are pliable and have a good length to be spun into yarn

► The final woven fabric is similar to linen- but much stronger (it’s

strength increases when wet) and a bit stiffer, making it ideal for

more structured garments. It has great resistance to wrinkling and

reputedly antimicrobial, antibacterial and fire retardant

► Himalayan Nettle has a unique property that makes it an ideal

clothing material for both winters and summers, the fibres of the

plant are actually hollow as such they can accumulate air inside

thus creating a natural insulation

Physical

Characteristics

► Himalayan Nettle is annual plant

► Flowers are hermaphrodite

► Plant prefers light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils.

The plant prefers acid, neutral and basic (alkaline) soils. It can

grow in semi- shade (light woodland or no shade). It requires moist

soil

HIMALAYAN NETTLE

Uses► Edible uses:

► Leaves are used for cooking purposes. Care should be taken

when harvesting the leaves because they have stinging

hairs. These hairs are neutralized by heat and so the cooked

leaves are perfectly safe to eat

► Young Leaves

► Himalayan Nettle can be cooked as a potherb and added to

soups etc.

► Nettles are a very valuable addition to the diet, they are a

very nutritious food that is easily digested and is high in

minerals (especially iron) and vitamins (especially A and C)

► Cooking the leaves, or thoroughly drying them, neutralizes

the sting in the leaves, rendering the leaf safe to eat

► The young shoots are harvested in the spring when they are

15 - 20cm long

► Colouring; Curdling agent; Drink; Leaves

► The plants are harvested commercially for extraction of the

chlorophyll, which is used as a green colouring agent in

foods and medicines

► A tea is made from the dried leaves

► The juice of the leaves, or a decoction of the herb, can be

used as a rennet substitute in curdling plant milks

► Nettle beer is brewed from the young shoots

► Medicinal uses:

► A decoction of the roots and basal stems is mixed with wine

and drunk as a cure for malignant boils. The leaves are used

in the treatment of headaches and swollen joints. A

decoction of the plant is used to treat fevers

HIMALAYAN NETTLE

Uses► Antiasthmatic; Antidandruff; Astringent; Diuretic; Galactogogue;

Haemostatic; Hypoglycaemic; Stings; Tonic

► Nettles have a long history of use in the home as an herbal

remedy and nutritious addition to the diet

► A tea made from the leaves has traditionally been used as a

cleansing tonic and blood purifier so the plant is often used

in the treatment of hay fever, arthritis, anaemia etc.

► The whole plant is antiasthmatic, antidandruff, astringent,

depurative, diuretic, galactogogue, haemostatic,

hypoglycaemic and a stimulating tonic.

► An infusion of the plant is very valuable in stemming

internal bleeding, it is also used to treat anemia, excessive

menstruation, haemorrhoids, arthritis, rheumatism and skin

complaints, especially eczema

► Externally, the plant is used to treat skin complaints,

arthritic pain, gout, sciatica, neuralgia, haemorrhoids, hair

problems etc.

► The fresh leaves of nettles have been rubbed or beaten onto

the skin in the treatment of rheumatism etc. This practice,

called urtification

► It is believed that this treatment works in two ways

► Firstly, it acts as a counter-irritant, bringing more blood to

the area to help remove the toxins that causes rheumatism

► Secondly, the formic acid from the nettles is believed to

have a beneficial effect upon the rheumatic joints

► Other uses:

► Fibre is obtained from the stem

► It is fine and silky and is used for making coarse cloth ropes,

twine

► Yield of fibre are around 600- 1098 kg per hectare

HIMALAYAN NETTLE

Uses► Biomass; Compost; Dye; fibre; Hair; Liquid feed; Oil; Repellent;

Waterproofing

► A strong flax-like fibre obtained from the stems is used for

making string and cloth, it also makes a good quality paper

► It is harvested as the plant begins to die down in early

autumn and is retted before the fibres are extracted

► The fibre is produced in less abundance than from flax

(Linum usitatissimum) and is also more difficult to extract

► The plant matter left over after the fibres have been

extracted are a good source of biomass and have been used

in the manufacture of sugar, starch, protein and ethyl

alcohol

► Oil obtained from the seeds is used as an illuminant

► Herbal compost activator is a dried and powdered mixture

of several herbs that can be added to a compost heap in

order to speed up bacterial activity and thus shorten the

time needed to make the compost

► The leaves are also an excellent addition to the compost

heap and they can be soaked for 7 - 21 days in water to

make a very nutritious liquid feed for plants

► This liquid feed is both insect repellent and a good foliar

feed

► The growing plant increases the essential oil content of

other nearby plants, thus making them more resistant to

insect pests

► A beautiful and permanent green dye is obtained from a

decoction of the leaves and stems

► A yellow dye is obtained from the root when boiled with

alum

Benefits of Nettle Fibre


Porous and

Breathability

► Himalayan fibres are porous, allowing the skin to breathe

► Fibres soften with age while being mildew resistant

► Moisture absorption property and breathability make Nettle an

extremely comfortable fabric


Durability► These fibres are longer, stronger and more durable than any other

natural fibre known to mankind

► Longer fibre length increases spinning options and hence fabric

possibilities

Temperature

Resistant

Antibacterial

Properties

► Most Himalayan fibres are potential medicinal plants, considered

to possess antibacterial activity against a wide range of pathogen

► This anti-bacterial characteristic is contributed from bio-active

compounds of lignin present in the fibre

► This makes it best alternative in healthcare and hospitality

industry

► Single fibre cells have hollow cavities called lumen

► These are interconnected, creating a complex capillary passage for

air, making the fibre temperature resistant

► This helps keep the fabric warm in winters and cool in summers

► In order to create clothing material for summers the yarn length

can be twisted closing the hollow core and reducing insulation

► In winter with low twist the hollow fiber remains open maintaining

a constant temperature

Eco – Friendly ► Himalayan plants grow in the temperate forests lands of the

Himalayas, with zero use of pesticides and insecticides for

cultivation

► The collection of raw material – the removal of dead stalks – have a

net positive impact on the mountain environment
