The most commercially exploited natural fibre textile is cotton. It is also the most environmentally damaging. It is cultivated over 3% of global agricultural land. Research by Water Footprint \[Report18\] calculates the global water footprint for cotton consumption to be 9800x10^9 cubic metres per year. This is approximately 40 cubic metres (or 40,000 litres) per hectare per day over a six-month lifecycle. It is causing extreme drought and a range of other environmental issues. Entry to the market of eco-fibres and biomaterial alternatives is demonstrating that an alternative is possible. In this project Fibe will develop a weavable fibre from agricultural waste.

最具商业开发价值的天然纤维纺织品是棉花。这也是最具环境破坏性的。它占全球农业用地的3%以上。水足迹研究[报告18]计算出全球棉花消费的水足迹为每年9800x10^9立方米。在六个月的生命周期中，每天每公顷约40立方米（或40 000升）。它正在造成极端干旱和一系列其他环境问题。进入生态纤维和生物材料替代品市场表明，替代品是可能的。在这个项目中，Fibe将从农业废料中开发一种可编织纤维。
