Cover Story: Concerns over synthetic fibers’ biodegradability and microplastic pollution have driven the shift toward sustainable textiles. However, natural textiles lack inherent hydrophobicity, limiting their use in technical applications. Traditional hydrophobic coatings rely on PFAS, which pose environmental and health risks. Emerging research focuses on PFAS-free alternatives, yet many remain synthetic. Natural coatings made from natural compounds, such as waxes, fatty acids, naturally occurring polymeric compounds, and other naturally occurring substances, offer a greener solution with a lower environmental footprint. This review examines their hydrophobic efficiency, durability, and scalability, comparing them to PFAS-based coatings. Can nature-derived coatings achieve the performance of synthetic solutions while maintaining sustainability? View this paper
