While natural dyes are often perceived as more environmentally friendly than synthetic dyes, the extraction processes themselves can pose environmental and safety concerns. Some methods, such as the use of deep eutectic solvents (DES) and ionic liquids, involve chemicals that may have unknown long-term environmental impacts . Moreover, the disposal of waste products and by-products generated during the extraction process can create additional environmental burdens. Ensuring the safety and sustainability of these extraction methods requires comprehensive environmental assessments and the development of effective waste management strategies.
