The textile sector is one of the biggest users of petroleum-derived synthetic polymers, such as acrylic, polyester, and nylon, which are resistant to deterioration. Biodegradable and sustainable substitutes made from renewable feedstocks or designed to be recyclable have received more attention lately. With an emphasis on natural biopolymers like cellulose, chitosan, and proteins; bio-based synthetic polymers like PLA, PHA, and PEF; blends; and nanocomposites, this review provides a thorough summary of recent developments in totally biodegradable and sustainable textile polymers. Future directions that involve improved recycling technologies, 3D printing using bio-based fibers, and smart biodegradable polymers have also been highlighted. To sum up, biodegradable polymers have the potential to significantly change the future of textiles in terms of sustainability and circularity. This analysis highlights recent advances and unresolved issues in the context of circularity while integrating natural, bio-based, and recycled polymer techniques in textiles in an exceptional manner.
