Moonlight Technologies announced a breakthrough and the launch of its 100 percent plant-based and natural black dyes. The breakthrough comes months after Moonlight Technologies introduced five sustainable, plant-based technologies, including a range of natural dyes.
Two of the major impediments to adopting natural dyes are the limited color range, specifically the inability to use a natural black dye, and the expensive cost associated with natural dyes.
“This is a major breakthrough for us as well as other businesses and consumers who are passionate about sustainability and interested in adopting natural dyes,” said Allie Sutton, CEO of Moonlight Technologies. “Until now, most natural dyes only offered a limited color range and no black colors so if you wanted black, you needed to resort to unnatural, synthetic dyes, which in many cases are not environmentally friendly.”
Humans are exposed to the synthetic chemicals of unnatural dyes through the air, skin and water, and even through eating exposed fish and plants. Because most synthetic dyes are not biodegradable, the dying process may discharge many harmful chemicals through the release of polluted water, which can result in the death of aquatic life, the ruining of soils, and the poisoning of drinking water.
While priced competitively to other synthetic powdered dyes, these plant-based and natural black dyes are derived sustainably, non-toxic, biodegradable and can be applied to any fabric type via standard manufacturing processes.
