Stony Creek Colors produces plant-based dyes in a new way that allows agricultural waste to be reused. As a result, Grounded Indigo is the world&#8217;s only 100% plant-based indigo, USDA BioPreferred\u2122 certified, without chemical treatments or components.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stony Creek Colors indigo is derived from the Indigofera suffruticosa plant<\/strong>, grown using regenerative agriculture practices in Tennessee, Kentucky and South Florida. Once harvested, the indigo plant undergoes three processing stages. After extraction, using water, the water separates from the biomass, the PH is adjusted, and a yellow liquid is obtained. In contact with air, the dye oxidizes and takes on the classic indigo color. Lastly, the pigment is dried and ground into a powder.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_161491\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-161491\" style=\"width: 2362px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-161491 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/www.designdiffusion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Albini-Group_White_03_1.jpg\" alt=\"albini-colore-sostenibile.jpg\" width=\"2362\" height=\"1575\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-161491\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Albini&#8217;s sustainable color at White Show Milano<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>ALBINI_next also draws useful materials from waste of the household appliance industry.
