Future trends and concluding remarks

In any case, biodegradable fibres based on polyesters while investigated and developed by researchers, should be considered seriously by industry and consumers. A knowledge concerning the properties and new techniques of production of the fibres should bring new ideas for applications of these materials followed by development of production technology.
