The dyes being used in manufacturing the NEW Bamboo Shag Rugs will all be Azo-Free (environment friendly) dyes. The dyeing process is also very much environment friendly wherein the waste water of dyeing is actually retreated and recycles completely so the process of dyeing is very much environment friendly. Why Azo Free?
• Azo dyes and pigments are commonly used to color textiles and plastics. Some of the by-products, such as chlorinated aromatic amines, are toxic and may be potential carcinogens.• The European Commission has recently passed directive 76/769EEC, which bans the usage of certain Azo dyes for use in any textile or leather product which may come in "direct or prolonged" contact with the skin or mouth.Also, Azo dyes and pigments resist biodegradation under aerobic conditions, so they are difficult to remove from an ecosystem |
