Dear colleagues and friends interested in natural dyes and colorants, natural dyes belong to the natural and cultural heritage shared by all nations and to-day can contribute to the global development of a “green economy” based on the sustainable use of renewable natural resources. Dye plants, fungi, and certain insects and marine molluscs could provide colorants for several major industries (food and drugs, cosmetics, textiles, paints, etc.). In recent years, many different aspects and perspectives of this interdisciplinary field of research and development have been presented at two important international meetings: “Naturally… International Symposium and Workshop on Natural Dyes” organised by UNESCO and Crafts Council of India in Hyderabad, India, in November 2006; and ISEND 2008, organised by Pr. Kim, Ji-Hee, the Museum of Natural Dye Arts and the City of Daegu, in Daegu, Republic of Korea, in September 2008. It is highly important to organise regular international meetings of the different groups of specialists in research and development involving the production and uses of natural colorants, so as to exchange information on progress in this field, share views on the most appropriate policies to promote them and heighten general public awareness of the wonderful qualities of natural dyes and colorants. |
