Abstract

The fashion industry contributes to environmental pollution through its reliance on synthetic materials that are difficult to degrade, creating a pressing need for alternative biomaterials such as bacterial cellulose (BC). This study aims to review the production methods, structural characteristics, and potential applications of BC biofilm for sustainable fashion using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) based on the PRISMA framework. A total of 380 initial records were retrieved from the Scopus database via Publish or Perish and screened down to 30 final articles (2020–2025), which were analyzed descriptively and mapped bibliometrically using VOSviewer. The review shows that BC can be produced from a wide range of carbon sources, including agro-industrial waste, with yields ranging from 2.10-14.88 g/L and tensile strength varying from 38 MPa in films to approximately 200 MPa in spun yarns, alongside crystallinity reaching 90.5%. BC shows strong potential as a bioleather, textile fiber, fabric coating, and wearable material. Nevertheless, industrial-scale implementation still faces obstacles related to production efficiency, cost, and the limited standardization of mechanical and durability testing. This study recommends the development of more time- and cost-efficient production technologies, together with testing protocols aligned with textile industry standards, to support the transition toward biomaterial-based sustainable fashion.
