Abstract
Fossils derived textile dyes, additives, and fibers have eventually found their way into the human food chain in the form of microfibers and microplastics. The clothing being second skin is exposed to textile dyes and additives that are cytotoxic, carcinogenic, genotoxic, and mutagenic causing DNA damage. Thus, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) and the U.S. Environment Protection Agency (EPA) encourage to develop and utilize plant-based sustainable bio-colours and bio-additives for textile processing. The research experiments with ancient herbal biomaterials Sapindus mukorossi (Areetha nut) and Acacia concinna (Shikakai) and establishes them as a potentially safe and eco-friendly source of saponins for processing cotton fabrics. The research herein impel to Sustainable Development Goals (SDG’s).
