Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a promising sustainable material for the fashion and textile industry due to its biodegradability, renewability, and unique properties. This review discusses the potential of BC in sustainable fashion, its production methods, and challenges in commercialization. BC is produced by bacteria and fungi, and can be derived from various natural sources such as tea, coffee, and sugars. It has been used in clothing, accessories, and even wearable electronics. BC offers advantages such as zero-waste manufacturing, reliance on renewable resources, and reduced environmental pollution. However, challenges such as high production costs, scalability, and quality control need to be addressed for widespread adoption. BC can replace traditional materials like leather, reducing environmental impact and aligning with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 6, 7, 12, 13, and 15. The production of BC can be optimized using waste materials from food and beverage industries, reducing competition with food resources. Despite its potential, BC is still in the early stages of commercial application, requiring further research and development to meet industry demands. The review highlights the importance of BC in sustainable fashion and textiles, emphasizing the need for continued innovation to overcome existing challenges and promote its use in the industry.Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a promising sustainable material for the fashion and textile industry due to its biodegradability, renewability, and unique properties.
