Fibers are the materials which have discretely elongated pieces and can be spun into threads and filaments. Fibers are classified into natural, synthetic and man-made. Natural fibers consist of animal and plant fibers. Animal fibers consist of protein chains such as wool, silk, fur, hair and feathers among others. Plant fibers consist of field crops such as cotton, jute and linen among others. Animal and plant fibers are used in various end-user industries such as textiles, paper processing and composite materials. Wool is the most commonly used animal fiber. The fiber is springy and curly. The cloth manufactured is used in textile industry for manufacturing of shawls, woolen clothes, carpets and many other textiles products. Silk is another common animal fiber which is made from spinning of cocoon of silkworm. Cotton is the most widely used plant fiber and is used in manufacturing of various types of clothes.

In paper processing, plant fibers are combined with the wood pulp in manufacturing of all kinds of paper and cardboards. In composite industry, animal and plant fibers are used as reinforcement materials in plastics and wallboards. Animal and plant fibers are also used as stuffing material in mattresses and upholstery. In packaging industry, plant fibers are used bags and vessels made-up of jute and hemp. Animal and plant fibers are also used in manufacturing of paint brushes and braided articles such as hats, baskets and mats.
