Allied to this, sustainable developments are playing an increasingly important role in the textile industry. Such concerns led to a new development strategy based on the valorization of bio-based wastes and by-products of different industries, inserting this in the circular economy paradigm. These bio-based wastes and by-products come from several industries, as the agri-food industry. These resources present an enormous potential for valorization in the textile finish due to their intrinsic properties (antimicrobial, prebiotic, antioxidant activity, among others). This chapter will review the latest innovation and textile product development through different by-products and wastes, their main properties and characteristics and the advantages that they offer to the textile industry UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/49358/1/72686.pdf UR - https://library.oapen.org/bitstream/20.500.12657/49358/1/72686.pdf UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/70660 ER -
