The textile industry is estimated to be the second most polluting industry in the world. Carbon emissions exceed the amount of simultaneous emissions from the aviation and shipping industries, which are also responsible for 20% of the total amount of polluted water. Biomaterials are a sustainable alternative to traditional materials used in the fashion industry. The actuality of the theme is determined by the increased interest of researchers in the field of the fashion industry to find a sustainable alternative for traditional textiles. The aim of the paper is to find sustainable alternatives in the textile industry. The paper includes not only theoretical studies on the current state of availability and areas of usage of biomaterials in the fashion industry but also practical applications for obtaining biomaterials and studying their characteristics. For this purpose, I created 3 samples of biomaterial according to the same recipe, following the same process. The samples had been researched in different environmental conditions. Environmental conditions were simulated under laboratory conditions. For the manufactured biomaterial sample were detetermined characteristics such as thickness, mass and surface. The obtained results are summarized in the form of graphs. The obtained data allow to evaluate the samples of the tested biomaterial and determine the conditions, areas of use. Further research directions will include the determination of mechanical, hygienic-functional, and appearance properties for manufactured biomaterial samples.
