Egyptian textiles should be compatible with environmental international legislations, in order to have the ability to compete in European and international markets.
This concept named as environmental textiles, which means there are not any chemical treatments that hurt the human or the environment during production or finishing. Therefore, this study used a natural fabric (100% cotton) as a basic fabric, and myrtus plant for extraction a natural dye in order to have a natural dyed textile product. This study showed the possibility to have several satisfied color depth degrees (K/S). At the same time, there were high stability amount against washing, light and sweat in harmony with the international standards. The study showed the possibility of using myrtus plant as a source for cotton fabrics dyeing. This dye can be used as alternative solution for the synthetic dyes in oreder to be compatible with environmental concepts
