Natural Dyes: Sources, Chemistry, Application and Sustainability Issues
Rapid research strides in synthetic chemistry supported by the industrialization of textile production not only led to the development of synthetic alternatives to popular natural dyes but also to a number of synthetic dyes in various hues and colors that gradually pushed the natural dyes into oblivion However, environmental issues in the production and application of synthetic dyes once again revived consumer interest in natural dyes during the last decades of the twentieth century.
Textiles colored with natural dyes are preferred by environmentally conscious consumers and today there is a niche market for such textiles.
But the total share of natural dyes in the textile sector is approximately only 1 % due to certain technical and sustainability issues involved in the production and application of these dyes such as nonavailability in ready-to-use standard form, unsuitability for machine use, and limited and nonreproducible shades.
Natural dyes per se are sustainable as they are renewable and biodegradable but they cannot fulfill the huge demand from the textile sector in view of the preferential use of land for food and feed purposes.
