Coconut is used throughout worldwide in various rituals, festivals and in food. A huge amount of unused parts of coconut such as fibrous husk and shells are thrashed every day. The present study illustrates the sustainable use of fibrous husk as a source of natural dye. Hence, in order to improve the dye yield, various dye extracting factors were optimized with the help of statistical software.
