- The textile industry is one of the most polluting in the world, in which one the most environmentally disastrous processes is the dyeing of fibers and textiles of the clothes we wear. Chemicals are released daily in rivers and nature destroying the environment around us to satisfy the colour demands that we create as designers, industry and consumers. Very few options are being explored in this fast changing fashion, clothing and textile industry, and the list of chemical treatments is only expanding. Many programs, networks and organisations are trying to get attention to this issue, trying to identify the real environmental costs we are paying and asking for more research in this field to substitute chemicals and procedures with less harmful ones.
- I wanna start with a question for you, all of you: Which color are you wearing today? We are all familiar with the concept of dyeing, but is dyeing actually? What does it really hold in? When we talk about dyeing we speak about the process of coloring fibers either in the form of yarn, woven textiles or knitted ones. It’s the process of which we dont speak about, most of you know about organic clothing, clothing made of cotton, silk, or otehr sustainable natural fibers grown organically. But nobody talks about your garments have been dyed. As an industry that wants to change, we also need to really start talking about the more hidden issues.
- We have all heard about natural dyeing, pigments extracted from plants, flowers, roots and fixated using natural salts and thats the first idea we get in mind when think about But what else is nature produces pigments, real pigments? Bacterias are single-celled organism. These dwell nearly everywhere on Earth, from the bottom of the sea to inside animals. And of course some of them produce pigments to rpotect themselves or as a side product of there existence
