Cellulose is a common natural organic compound and an important renewable polymer that can be extracted from various products. The conventional sources are wood pulp and cotton. Extracted cellulose is used in several industries such as food, polymer, pharmaceutical, pulp, bio-fuel, pulp, paper and textile. Nowadays, there is a significant interest in the extraction of regenerated cellulose from agricultural by-products and waste with various methods, due to the global change for sustainable, ecological and environment friendly solutions. This paper presents recent studies of cellulose extraction from agricultural products and waste, and methods for producing regenerated cellulose. The main focus is on the extraction methods followed, the technology used for producing regenerated fibres and the properties of the regenerated cellulose fibres. Furthermore, this work shows great interest in regenerated cellulose applications in the textile industry.
