synthetic indigo

Synthetic indigo is a man-made dye created through chemical processes that mimic the natural indigo plant’s pigment. It is produced by combining chemicals in a laboratory or factory to generate the deep blue color used in denim jeans and other fabrics. This method is more efficient and cost-effective than extracting indigo from plants, allowing for large-scale production. Synthetic indigo maintains the same vibrant hue and durability as natural indigo but is more environmentally controlled in its manufacturing. It revolutionized the textile industry by providing a consistent, affordable, and sustainable alternative to natural indigo dyeing.
