Due to greater awareness of environmental and social issues, as well as stricter environmental regulations, there is a rising demand for green materials to replace fossil-based resources and raw materials. With its excellent mechanical properties, biodegradability, and low cost, nettle fibre has the potential to become a sustainable fibre for technical applications. Dyeability, antimicrobial properties, renewability, and wrinkle resistance make this fibre suitable for textile applications. Due to its low density, it may be used in a wide array of applications such as woven and non-woven fabrics, blends, and composite materials. This paper aims to critically review nettle fibre in various textile applications and provide directions for future research.
