As the demand for energy and raw material is increasing everyday, so the challenge of finding sustainable and environment friendly alternatives are becoming very crucial and challenging for the textile industry. Sustainability is one of the most required characteristics in textile production and consumption. As a result, regenerated cellulose fibers have become very popular for their identical properties to cotton, conforming to the sustainability goals of this sector. Production of regenerated cellulose fiber known as Ecocell the trend of sustainability is getting promoted. The aim of this study is to evaluate the performance and dyeing properties of Ecocell in woven fabrics. In order to evaluate the viability, six different fabrics with different construction was weaved and dyed and subjected to several testing. The results indicate that the successful development of Ecocell can be a sustainable and eco-friendly replacement to the imported fibers. By enhancing our country's self-sufficiency in regenerated cellulose fiber production, the textile industry is taking a crucial step towards greater eco-consciousness and sustainability. This study not only contributes to the academic understanding of regenerated cellulose fibers but also holds practical implications for the industry's green transformation.
