SUSTAINABILITY
Inspired by nature, powered by waste crafting hues for
better tomorrow.
At Sodhani Biotech, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We understand that sustainability is no longer ‘good to have’ but a ‘must have’. So our mission is to bring sustainable practices to the forefront, in the dyeing and textile industries, by making natural dyes accessible and easy-to-implement for fashion brands. By focusing on circularity, transparency and collaboration, we aim to support all spheres of sustainability: the society, the economy and the environment. It is our mission to make a positive impact on our planet and the communities we operate in, to empower our customers, and to contribute to a better future for all. Our focus is to support spheres of sustainability- society, economy, and environment.
Achieving the Colors of Sustainable Development Goals.
Sustainability is at the centre of every action and choice we make. We are aware of the implications of our actions and the jeopardy that we have put not just the future of us but also of the planet. At Sodhani Biotech, we fully support these seven sustainability Goals.
At Sodhani Biotech, we are committed to embracing circularity in all our operations and products. We believe in minimizing waste, optimizing our resources and maximizing the lifespan of our products. Here's how we incorporate circular practices:
The natural dyes industry suffers from a massive supply issue: The current natural dye supply is meeting only 1% of the global demand of 10,000 tonnes. We, at Sodhani Biotech, are working to overcome this by including more waste products to extract colour from, instead of focusing on products that come under the food chain or are grown in the wild. By supporting local communities and prioritizing waste as a resource, we minimize our ecological footprint.
Since natural dyes are extracted from fruits, flowers, plants and plant waste, they are biodegradable and are non-toxic to humans, animals and the planet. So effluents from textile dyeing factories and facilities that use natural dyes, rather than synthetic dyes, are also biodegradable and not harmful to the planet. Moreover, when used to dye natural fabrics, these natural dyes ensure the fabrics are completely biodegradable at end-of-life.
The majority of our dyes come from waste, such as onion peels, walnut shells, avocado pits, pomegranate peels and marigold flowers, which we’re recycling into a product that is not only useful but also commercially viable. We also strive to minimize waste throughout our production process. By implementing innovative techniques and initiatives, and repurposing waste and other materials, we have developed a closed loop system with a minimal impact on the environment.
Natural dyes are derived from renewable sources that can be harnessed without harming the environment. Our products, specifically, use fruit and plant waste, as well as bacteria grown in a controlled environment, all of which we will never run out of. Moreover, by keeping waste out of landfill, we are also doing our part to mitigate climate change.
At Sodhani Biotech, we believe transparency is key to fighting greenwashing. We believe in being open and honest about our practices and our impact, ensuring our customers and partners know exactly what they’re getting when they work with us. Here's how we foster transparency:
We provide detailed information about the origin of our natural dyes, enabling you to make informed choices. We work closely with our suppliers to ensure transparency throughout the supply chain.
We believe in sharing information about our manufacturing process to give you a clear understanding of how our products are made. By being transparent, we empower you to make informed choices that align with your values.
All our products undergo C14 testing and are certified for 100% biocarbon, ensuring you get the highest quality of natural dyes from us. We are also GOTS certified for being certified, ISO-certified for safety and REACH certified for compliance. We proudly display these certifications and openly share our test results to showcase our commitment to environmental stewardship and responsible practices.
We believe in the power of collaboration to drive positive change. We also believe collaboration is key to solving the supply chain issues the natural dye industry is currently facing. We actively seek partnerships and collaborations with like-minded organizations and individuals who share our vision. Here's how we embrace collaboration:
At Sodhani Biotech, we don’t just care about the planet, we also care about the people who work with us, the people in the communities we operate within, and the people who wear products created using our dyes.
The dyeing industry has been using and dumping almost 2000 different types of chemicals, polluting freshwater. In fact, textile dyeing has been responsible for as much as 20% of water pollution. Natural dyes, on the other hand, are biodegradable, non-toxic, non-allergic, and anti-microbial, while providing vibrant colours.
Heavy metals like lead, chromium and cadmium are an integral part of synthetic dyeing processes. Other pollutant includes nitrates, chlorine compounds, mercury, arsenic, nickel, cobalt and sulphur. Lead has been known to produce developmental and neurological damage in children, and cardiovascular diseases in adults, affecting both, people who work in the textile, dyeing and apparel industries as well as those who wear these clothes. Our natural dyes need none of these, making them safer for the people who dye our clothes, the people who make our garments and also those who wear them.
