研染-回收農林修枝材製造植物天然色粉之研究 - Yan Ran (research and dyeing)- Research on recycling agricultural and forestry pruning materials for manufacture of the natural plant powder pigments
收購或採集農林修枝材當作植物染的染材，來減緩農民解決農林修枝材處理困難的問題。以台中市太平區頭汴農民栽種之荔枝、龍眼、枇杷修枝材為例，將其加工製成創新特色產品－植物熱染色粉，不僅能省去原植物染液冷藏電力與農林修枝材處理所消耗之碳排；也可以改善染材難以收納，與染液難以保存易發霉之問題，應用也更加廣泛。而色粉將可提供天然染織產業一個快速、便捷又創新的產品。
此熱染色粉可與各地植被做結合，使當地特產更加豐富，色粉商品顏色多樣化，且製成粉狀能使植物染液有更多應用面向。且本研究利用染液煮完之染材剩餘物，解纖抄紙作為產品包裝用，符合永續環境議題，可提供消費者天然害的染色產品，且在選購本商品時，能為環境保育盡一份心力。而本產品原料使用符合SDGs循環經濟12.5項內容，整體能讓各地農林修枝材達到最高價值的利用。

Collecting or harvesting pruned branches from agriculture and forestry to be used as plant dyes can alleviate the difficulties farmers face in managing agricultural and forestry waste. Using the pruned branches of lychee, longan, and loquat grown by farmers in the Taiping District of Taichung City as an example, these materials can be processed into an innovative and distinctive product: plant-based dye powder. This approach not only reduces the carbon footprint associated with refrigerating traditional plant dye liquids and disposing of agricultural and forestry pruned branches but also addresses the issues of dye material storage and the susceptibility of dye liquids to mold and spoilage, thereby expanding their applications.
The dye powder offers a quick, convenient, and innovative product to the natural dyeing industry. It can be combined with local vegetation to enrich regional specialties, diversify the colors of the dye powder products, and expand the application scope of plant dye liquids by converting them into powder form. Moreover, the residue from the dyeing process can be repurposed into paper for packaging, promoting sustainability and providing consumers with natural and harmless dye products. By choosing this product, consumers can contribute to environmental conservation.
The raw materials used in this product align with the circular economy goals of SDG 12.5, ensuring the highest value utilization of agricultural and forestry pruned branches across various regions.
