Plant dyeing, also known as "natural dyeing," is a method of coloring textiles using natural herbaceous or woody plants. Neolithic people began using natural plant dyes alongside mineral pigments. With the development of modern biotechnology, processes combining natural plant dyes and auxiliaries, and utilizing ultrasonic equipment, can now be used not only for common fabrics like cotton, wool, silk, hemp, modal, and Tencel, but also for polyester and nylon products. These plant-dyed products possess the antibacterial properties of natural plants and are free of harmful substances such as petrochemical aromatic amines, dioxins, and heavy metals.
