Natural fibres have been used to make textiles since prehistoric times and are still used today. Nowadays, natural fibres including animal (protein) fibres and vegetable (cellulose) fibres make up almost 50% of the textile fibres produced annually in the world. Vegetable fibre is extracted from plants. Cellulose is the main content of vegetable fibre; therefore, vegetable fibre is usually referred to as plant fibre or natural cellulosic fibre.
