Natural dyes are scaling up – Performance Days

28/07/2020
Trade show Performance Days says natural dyes – such as dyestuff from food-waste, tea, plants, flowers, herbs and spices - are starting to scale up, along with waterless synthetic dyeing processes.

It is inviting companies to request samples from some of its exhibitors including Sudwolle, Sympatex and Achievetex.

“When it comes to dyeing technologies, more and more sustainable solutions are being developed while considering the impact on the planet, especially in reducing waste, abstaining from the use of chemicals and conserving water,” said Performance Days organisers.

“There is a move away from bleaching, allowing for the presence of optical whites. The popularity of natural dyes and undyed fabrics are bringing about new key color palettes with beautiful neutral shades.”

The next fair will take place in Munich, Germany, on December 9 and 10.
