Abstract: Utilization of fruits and vegetable wastes are one of the important and challengeable works around the world. Orange peels are one of fruit waste generated mainly by the juicing industries that cause environmental problems due to its large volume of generation and physicochemical characteristics, such as soil and water pollution. Meanwhile, textile industry has been growing interest on utilization of bioresource waste derived from fruits as an important step toward sustainable development. Recently, researchers have developed various luxury materials using fruit waste from pineapple, apple, grape, and banana etc. Similarly, orange peel wastes are used as a source of natural dye, green absorber, mosquito repellent, perfume retention agent, and antimicrobial agent, and produced a luxury fiber in textile industry. This review describes the various application of orange peel waste as sustainable material in textile industry.
