Plant-based dyes
Plant-based dyes, such as indigo, turmeric, and madder root, are gaining popularity for their sustainable and non-toxic properties. These dyes are derived from natural sources and offer a wide range of colors for fabric coloring.
Mineral-based dyes
Mineral-based dyes, like iron oxide and copper oxide, are being used to create eco-friendly fabric colors. These dyes are derived from minerals and provide a unique and earthy color palette for textiles.
Eco-friendly dyeing methods
In addition to natural dyes, eco-friendly dyeing methods such as low-impact dyeing and waterless dyeing are being employed to minimize the environmental impact of fabric coloring. These methods use less water and energy, and produce less waste compared to traditional dyeing processes.
