While natural dyes currently account for only 5% of the global market due to challenges like cost, availability, and reproducibility, this work demonstrates how these limitations have inspired impactful research and practical solutions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book begins by reviewing synthetic dyes, their environmental impact, and modern dyeing technologies, highlighting the need for sustainable alternatives. It then delves into natural dyes-their types, sources, advances, and challenges-and examines the role of bio-based textiles and green chemistry. The focus then shifts to practical applications, presenting detailed methods for extracting dyes from black, oolong, white, and green tea leaves and transforming tea waste into effective fabric dyes. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFinally, the book showcases a success story of scaling this innovation from laboratory research to pilot trials and industrial production, using tea waste from a major ready-to-drink tea manufacturer. This real-world example demonstrates both technical feasibility and commercial potential, offering a roadmap for researchers, students, textile professionals, and sustainability practitioners. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eKey Features: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e-Innovative use of tea waste for sustainable textile dyeing.\u003cbr\u003e-Covers synthetic and natural dyes, green chemistry, and bio-based textiles.\u003cbr\u003e-Detailed extraction methods and industrial upscaling strategies.\u003cbr\u003e-Combines scientific rigour with practical guidance and real-world case studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vinitha Moolchand Thadhani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798898815424\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bentham Science Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/23\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 196\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.06lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.51d","brand":"Vinitha Moolchand Thadhani","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48852945502463,"sku":"9798898815424","price":98.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dyes-from-discard-vinitha-moolchand-thadhani-9798898815424","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
