The shift toward sustainable dyeing practices includes a focus on non-toxic synthesis, reduced salt usage, and minimizing residual color in effluents. Pigment technologies are also evolving toward water-based dispersions and recyclable formulations. Both areas see growing alignment with chemical management frameworks such as ZDHC and bluesign®. B2B marketplaces foster connections with verified suppliers, allowing brands and mills to select dyestuffs and pigments that align with environmental regulations and corporate sustainability goals.
