Why Fashion Industry needs to be Dye Hard Fans of Sustainable Colours
Published on 02-AUG-21
The world of fashion is changing, as we make a gradual move from a use-and-dump model of dressing up to slow fashion. Eco-conscious consumers are learning the dangers of unsustainable fashion practices to both the planet and humanity—including the practice of shoving off chemicals into freshwater and the subsequent contamination of various water sources for both wildlife and citizens. As a result, many consumers are straying away from fast-fashion and seeking eco-friendly alternatives made with natural materials that reduce the environmental impact of their purchase. Unlike synthetic colours, sustainable natural colour dyes neither contain any carcinogenic components or harmful substances. The synthetic dye residuals from the textile industry wash off to the oceans and create a harmful imbalance in the environment. The textile industry is putting forward baby steps by moving towards using biodegradable and sustainable raw materials.

If we were to date back the usage of natural dyes, we’ll have to travel back a few centuries. Natural dyes or colourants were used by the kings and queens on their fabric and in makeup to enhance their outlook. They are obtained from animals, plants, minerals, vegetables, and fungi. In India, the natural colour Indigo has been in use for around four thousand years.
