Natural dyes are the eco-friendly color source to dye your clothes by using plant parts and kitchen waste.

In the present scenario, better hygiene and a healthy environment are extremely needed. The dyes used in different industries are synthetic and use different harmful chemicals. These dyes are durable and have developed methods of use. Thus they are using harmful materials as mentioned above, which are very harmful to the environment end affect it in many different ways. Also, they are not so hygienic for users and workers too. Instead, Natural Dyes uses natural elements, is eco-friendly, and has enormous benefits to the environment. Let’s take a look at it.

Natural dyeing is simply coloring clothes, canvas, walls, toys, and more. Natural dyes are made up of natural ingredients, extracted from various parts of trees, plants, and animals. Some minerals are also used in Natural dyeing but have limited use. Natural dyes mainly use different parts of trees and plant-like leaves, stems, fruits, flowers, and roots. Natural dyes have many benefits, some key benefits are:

> High hygiene for both users and workers

> Easy availability in the environment

> Using renewable sources

> High sustainability 

> No harmful effluent emission 

> Easy process of extraction 

Using natural dyes in textile has enormous environmental benefits as mentioned above as well as they are available at low cost. The textures of textile use natural dyes that are eye relaxing. But we must know “Every rose has its thorn”. There are some limitations with natural dye application on textile. Natural dyes are well stable only with natural fibers like cotton, linen, wool, and silk. They are stable with nylons and polyester-like fibers with the use of metallic mordant those are toxic and non-ecofriendly. Natural dyes faded away soon with the application of water and exposure to light. 

Methods of extraction and dyeing of natural dyes are different in different parts of our Nation. Natural dyes application on textile needs more research and development process to develop a standard procedure of extraction and dyeing to implement with the integration process of textile dyeing.
