Abstract

Eco-friendly textiles are those textile products which do not contain any hazardous or toxic substance and are biologically degradable, so that they do not cause any damage to the environment. The Asian countries like India have a rich heritage and tradition of using natural dyes obtained from natural sources, as they are eco-friendly for textile products. However, after the discovery of synthetic dyes a steady decline in the use natural dyes has been noticed. The introduction of synthetic caused health hazards as well as environmental pollution. Hence textile colourists have started using natural dyes for colouring fabrics. These natural dyes exhibit better bio degradability and have better compatibility with the environment. In this colouring work, we have used the peanut pod as natural dye. Peanut pod as natural dye which is available plenty in India can be used as ecofriendly textile product. This material has been evaluated to find the effects of biodegradability and compatibility with environment in textile industries. Peanut pod are crushed and then alum, copper sulphate and ferrous sulphate as mordants are mixed with it. Fabric such as linen is coloured. The colored fabric has been tested for chemical and physical characteristics.
