Environmental impact of dyes

Dyes used in textiles, plastics, and other products can harm the environment when they’re released during manufacturing or washing. They may contaminate water sources, affecting aquatic life and making water unsafe for humans and animals. Some dyes contain toxic chemicals that can persist in nature, harming ecosystems and reducing biodiversity. Additionally, the production of synthetic dyes often requires significant energy and chemicals, contributing to pollution and greenhouse gases. Using eco-friendly dyes and proper wastewater treatment can help minimize these environmental impacts, protecting water quality and overall environmental health.
