Natural dyes have attracted the worldwide attention because of its environmental advantage over synthetic dyes. However, most of natural dyes are expensive for mass production, strongly season and source dependent, and hard to store. In this study, coffee waste were used as natural dye to create beautiful colors. Coffee waste is inexpensive and easy to store, and provides a comparatively regular quality regardless of seasonand source. The effects of mordant agent concentration and mordanting temperature on dyeing efficiency of silk fabrics were investigated. Coffee extract dyed silk showed brilliant colors, and the colors were different with the kind of mordants. Cu, Sn, and Al mordanted silks showed golden yellow with subtle change of hue and value, while Fe mordanted silk showed a brownish green color. The increase in mordant concentration did not always increase the dyeability, and 0.5% o.w.f. mordant concentration was enough to get a satifactory result. Mordanting temperature also had little effect on the dyeability in case of Al, Cu, and Sn mordanted fabrics. Only Fe mordanted fabrics showed a better dyeability in the increase in mordating temperature. Coffee extract dyeing is an effective way using waste as resource and can create brilliant colors with minimal amount of mordant and under mild mordanting condition.

The optimum extraction conditions of green tea used for a bath were investigated for application to textiles. The stability of the extracts and content of active ingredients were analyzed as well. The extraction was more effective in water and methanol than in ethanol. The optimum extraction temperature was determined as $80^{\circ}C$ in water and $60^{\circ}C$ in methanol. The solid extracts were obtained about 7% in water and 9% in methanol on the weight of dry green tea. The extracts were more stable in acid and neutral conditions than in alkaline region. From the analysis of contents of active ingredients, about 20% of effective catechins was appeared to be contained in the extract solid, which was thought to be available for application to textiles.

The optimum extraction conditions of green tea used for a bath were investigated for later application to textile. The extraction was more effective in water and methanol than in ethanol. The optimum extraction temperature was determined as 80$^{\circ}C$ in water and 60$^{\circ}C$ in methanol. The extracts were more stable in acid and neutral conditions than in alkaline region. The UV satbility was better than generally expected. From the analysis of contents of active ingredients, the about 20% of effective catechin was appeared to be contained in the extract solid. The contents of polyphenol is 0.016g in the 0.1g extracts.
