Abstract

The evidence coupled with awareness towards carcinogenic effects of synthetic textiles dyes to the wearer, exhausting fossil fuels, ecological balance distortion, and increased pollutants from the textile industry harming the environment, is on the rise. In this context, the paper provides a significant overview of ancient biomaterial engineering with herbal colorants to refute the modern ecological crisis. The medicinal properties of natural dyes have the potential to create functional textiles, cogently their ability to combat UV radiation and microorganisms are discussed in depth. Cohesively, the subtle and the vital role of plant phytochemicals is comprised. The overview would further propel the textile industry towards slow technology and slow fashion in a substantial way. Thus, it motivates us to view more in less for radical change. For the future, the review paper highlight’s on multi-disciplinary research approach at global, institutional, and individual levels of research to meet the anticipated holistic outcomes.

摘要

随着人们意识到合成纺织品染料对穿着者的致癌作用、化石燃料的消耗、生态平衡的扭曲以及纺织业污染环境的污染物增加，这些证据正在增加。在此背景下，本文对古代生物材料工程与草药着色剂进行了重要概述，以驳斥现代生态危机。天然染料的药用特性具有制造功能性纺织品的潜力，深入讨论了它们对抗紫外线辐射和微生物的能力。植物化学物质的微妙而重要的作用凝聚在一起。该概览将进一步推动纺织业以实质性的方式向缓慢的技术和缓慢的时尚发展。因此，它激励我们以更少的眼光看待根本性的变化。
