| | Eco-friendly Natural Dyes |
A technology that will produce natural and eco-friendly dyes was invented by the Philippine Textile Research Institute (PTRI) of the Department of Science and Technology (DoST). Synthetic dyes are now recognized in the market, while natural dyes are forgotten. But as people becomes environment-conscious the demand for natural dyes increases. Natural dyes can be acquired from bark, wood, roots, berries, lichens, insects, shellfish and flowers. The growing demand resulted to the development of different study and advanced programs that would support the production of environment-friendly textile products. |
