Abstract Agricultural waste utilization presents an innovative and sustainable approach to reducing environmental pollution while generating value-added products. This study focuses on producing biodegradable fabric from waste Coffea arabica grounds and Aloe vera fibers through eco-friendly processing techniques. Fibers were extracted using washing, retting, alkali treatment, enzymatic treatment, and tannic acid cross-linking, followed by weaving through a handloom. The developed fabric was evaluated for thermal resistance, phytochemical safety, elastic properties, pilling behavior, washability, dimensional stability, and colour fastness. Results indicate that coffee–aloe vera fabric exhibits good tensile strength, excellent light fastness, biodegradability, and enhanced moisture absorption. The study demonstrates that agricultural residues can be successfully converted into functional, sustainable textiles, offering a promising alternative to synthetic fibers and contributing to circular economy practices in the textile industry.
