BioDye Information

BioDye is a dye house that uses only vegetal powders from leaves, fruits and regenerative vines (no wood, bark or root as they kill the plant or or wild flowers as they affect insect pollinators). We also use by products such as lac (from the lac resin industry) and cutch (from manufacture of edible catechu). Only alum and iron vinegar are used as mordants (no chromium, copper or tin) and non-toxic, biodegradable auxiliaries are employed. We remove particulate matter from the smoke of our stove exhaust, and treat our waste water by simple floculation, settling and aeration processes and then use it to irrigate our fruit trees.The sludge is composted and used as manure
