**8. Conclusion**

A multiperspective approach to bast fibers reveals their high potential to be used for the development and implementation of safe barrier and functional textiles. The chemical composition of the lignocellulosic fibers, including phenolic acids, results in their unique inherent bioactivity, which cannot be found in other natural or man-made fibers can give some competitive advantage of linen/hemp bioproducts. Owing to the sensitivity of phenolic acids on some wet aggressive methods of fiber extraction and processes, the design of technological chain should be well cherrypicked and focused on keeping the active fiber components on the desired level in order to produce bioactive functional textiles. Entering of other active substances on the textile surface, such as nanosilver, nanolignin, or simply herbal extracts, can strengthen the functionality of final linen/hemp goods. The linen/hemp apparels provide well-being and optimal comfort to the users, can cause improvement of skin condition, and protect against UV radiation. Bast fiber sector covering both agriculture and industry meets environmental requirements determined by the European Green Deal (EGD) strategy and contributes to the limitation of greenhouse gasses emission. Flax and hemp cultivation and their use for different purposes are in line with aims of EGD, particularly, can have influence on the improvement of the wellbeing and health of citizens as well as can support activity for future generations by caring for the environment and sustainability of the holistic value chain for bast fiber bioproducts.

Bast-fiber-based textile targets the improvement of human everyday life on the following levels:
