Artigo - Tingimento Natural e a Biodiversidade Brasileira: Desafios e Oportunidades, uma revisão sistemática

Abstract

The present article conducted a systematic review on natural dyeing and its potential within the context of Brazilian biodiversity. The study explored the use of dye plants by traditional communities, highlighting the revival of ancestral knowledge and its contributions to sustainability in the textile industry. The methodology involved analyzing indexed publications from the Scopus, Web of Science, SciELO, and Google Scholar databases, applying rigorous selection and data analysis criteria. The results indicated that natural dyeing offers significant environmental and cultural advantages, reducing the chemical impact of conventional textile production and promoting the appreciation of artisanal practices. However, challenges such as the scarcity of cultivated dye plant species, difficulties in scaling production, and the lack of public policies to support the sector were identified as barriers to its growth. The research concludes that fostering natural dyeing in Brazil requires multidisciplinary efforts and investments in research and innovation to establish its large-scale application in sustainable design
