An Experimental Study on the Use of Eco-Printing and Natural Dyes on Hotel Linens for Environmental Sustainability

Abstract

Due of worries about synthetic colors, environmental effects, natural dyes in hotel linens have gained popularity. Natural colors from plants, animals, and minerals are eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic dyes. Natural dyes reduce pollution, improve air and water quality, and provide beautiful hues, which hoteliers are recognizing. Natural dyes may color hotel bedding, towels, and tablecloths. Natural dyes may help hotels stand out in a competitive industry. This article discusses designing and eco-printing hotel linen using natural dyes. Different treatments were applied to the textiles, which were then coated with a polyester sheet and pre-mordanted natural materials. The goal was colorful eco-printed fabric textures. The findings showed that the naked eye can clearly distinguish color hues and textures when pre-mordanting textiles with different natural materials and mordants. Colors and textures stood out.
