No idea how this thing works but why wouldn't it destroy all "dyes"? It breaks every other bond, why not dye bonds?
I'm also curious that the liquid is clear, though, because you'd think this thing creates a soup of organic chemicals each with different color responses.
Well this machine has been around for a decade or so I think
Here is some organization in Alaska demonstrating the operation but like I said in my other comment in this thread, the tabletop unit is more of a demonstrator model that is meant for educational purposes and their goal is to upsell on the industrial units.
Breaking polymers down is a thing though. Not my area of expertise, but they try to make feedstock organic or of it. Lots of research to make it cheap and better control off the outputs.
But I wouldn't expect a crystal clear liquid output. Again, not my area.
