ABSTRACT
The wastewater released from textile plants causes high amount of pollution considering the volume generated as well as the effluent composition. To combat the problem ,this paper focuses on alternative dying options using the organic waste present in households like tomato remains. The dye was extracted by alcoholic method and the dye was analysed by applying on 100% cotton fabric . Different shades where produced using mordents like ferrous sulphate, copper sulphate , sodium chloride and potassium dichromate. Since tomato remains are readily available and are cheap ,they can be used to create natural and biodegradable dye.
