New Findings from Tabriz Islamic Art University in the Area of Sustainability Research Described (Upscaling millettia Laurentii Carpentry Sawdust Into Natural Dyes: Imparting Antimicrobial, Antioxidant, and Uv-protective Finish To Wool...).

A recent study conducted at Tabriz Islamic Art University in Iran focused on upcycling millettia laurentii carpentry sawdust waste into natural dyes for wool textiles. The research explored the use of different metal salts and their combinations as mordants to develop eco-friendly shades with antimicrobial, antioxidant, and UV protection properties. The results suggest that copper sulfate and ferrous sulfate pre-treatment were the most effective combinations for wool yarns, highlighting the potential for sustainable and eco-friendly coloration of textiles using timber industry waste. The study has been peer-reviewed and offers insights into the ecological and sustainable natural dyeing process. [Extracted from the article]
