Q: What is the difference between natural dyeing and synthetic dyeing?
A: Natural dyeing uses materials derived from plants, minerals, and other natural sources, making it generally eco-friendlier and more sustainable. Synthetic dyeing, on the other hand, employs chemically manufactured dyes that can offer a wider color spectrum but may contribute to environmental pollution and include harmful chemicals that can pose health risks.
