    In the evolving landscape of sustainable textiles, eco-friendly printing is no longer an optional add-on—it’s a core design principle. Eco fabric printing uses low-impact processes and natural dyes to reduce environmental harm while preserving the quality and character of the textile.

     

    At Anuprerna, we believe every layer of design should reflect intention—from the fiber to the finish, and from the base weave to the final printed surface. Our commitment to ethical, low-impact printing techniques brings together tradition, technology, and environmental care.

    Why Ethical Printing Matters

     

    Most conventional textile printing relies on synthetic dyes, heavy metals, and resource-intensive processes. 

     

    These not only harm the planet—polluting water bodies and producing textile waste—but also compromise the health of workers and wearers alike.

     

    Eco-friendly printing offers a conscious alternative by:

     

    • Using azo-free, non-toxic dyes
    • Reducing or eliminating water pollution
    • Supporting artisan-led, manual techniques
    • Extending the life and biodegradability of natural fabrics

    Anuprerna’s Commitment to Ethical Printing

    We offer a range of sustainable printing techniques:

    1. Hand Printing Techniques- Block Printing, Batik Printing
    2. Digital Techniques- Screen Printing, Digital Printing

    All done on natural fiber bases like handwoven cotton, khadi, and silk blends. Here’s how each option contributes to conscious design.

    Hand Printing Techniques:

     

    Block Printing: We collaborate with generational block printers in Bengal and Rajasthan who work with wooden hand-carved blocks to create rich, repeat patterns. 

     

    This slow, manual process consumes significantly less energy and water while supporting traditional livelihoods.

     

    Batik Printing: Our batik fabrics, made using the wax-resist technique, are printed and dyed by hand using natural colorants. 

     

    This method is fully artisanal, chemical-free, and produces one-of-a-kind textures and crackle patterns, ideal for slow fashion brands.

    Digital Techniques:

    Digital Printing- Our digitally printed collections allow designers to translate artwork and brand motifs directly onto natural base fabrics like handwoven cotton or silk blends. 

     

    Screen Printing- For bolder, larger-scale designs, we offer manual screen printing using water-based inks on handwoven fabrics. This ensures consistency while maintaining our eco-standards—ideal for scaled ethical collections.

     

    Natural & Azo-Free Pigments Only:

     

    We use certified azo-free and low-impact dyes in all Digital to screen and block printing processes—ensuring no harmful chemicals enter artisan environments or customer closets. Our water-based pigments are safe, skin-friendly, and biodegradable.
