Microplastics from textile origin – emission and reduction measures
This paper reviews the emission of fibrous microplastics from synthetic textiles during washing and their pathway through wastewater treatment plants into aquatic environments. It also summarizes available reduction measures such as laundry filters and fiber-releasing fabric design modifications.
Microfibres from Textile Industry Effluents
Researchers reviewed the fate of microfibres released from textile industry effluents, finding that conventional wastewater treatment is insufficient to fully remove fibres, which then enter receiving waterways and contribute to environmental microplastic loads.
Environmental Impact of Textile Materials: Challenges in Fiber–Dye Chemistry and Implication of Microbial Biodegradation
This review examines how the textile industry contributes to environmental pollution through both chemical dye waste and microplastic fiber release. Synthetic fabrics like polyester and nylon shed non-biodegradable microfibers during manufacturing and washing, while the dyeing process generates contaminated wastewater. The paper highlights microbial biodegradation as a promising and cost-effective approach to breaking down both textile waste and the microplastics it produces.
Microplastic emissions in textile wet processing: Progress, challenges, and mitigation strategies
This review examines how textile wet processing, including dyeing and finishing operations, contributes to microplastic emissions that are more substantial in volume and chemically diverse than those from domestic laundry. Researchers found that mechanical forces, water, and chemical treatments during industrial processing release significant quantities of synthetic microfibers into wastewater. The study explores mitigation strategies including bioengineered materials, improved textile design, surface coatings, and enhanced filtration technologies.
Advancements in Microplastic Removal Techniques and Sustainable Solutions for Plastic Reduction
This review examines advancements in microplastic removal techniques across wastewater treatment plants, focusing on inputs from fabric, laundry, and cosmetics sectors and the varied responses of microplastics to different treatment processes. The authors also evaluate sustainable strategies for reducing plastic inputs and improving removal efficiency in terrestrial and aquatic discharge pathways.
Remediation technology of microfibers from washing machine effuents
Researchers developed a treatment method combining Fenton oxidation and electro-sorption to remove polyester microfibers from washing machine wastewater. Washing synthetic clothing is a major source of microplastic fiber pollution, and effective wastewater treatment at the machine level could significantly reduce this pathway into aquatic environments.
Investigation of Removal Efficiency of Microplastics at Different Process Stages of a Wastewater Treatment Plant in the Textile Industry in Southern China
Researchers investigated microplastic removal efficiency at different stages of a textile industry wastewater treatment plant in southern China. Using laser infrared and mass spectrometry techniques, they found that the plant effectively reduced microplastic counts, though some particles still passed through to the effluent. The study highlights that textile manufacturing is a significant source of microplastic pollution and that treatment processes need continued improvement.

Microfiber Fragment Pollution: Sources, Toxicity, Strategies, and Technologies for Remediation
This review examines microfiber fragment pollution from synthetic textiles, which now make up over 65% of the global textile market. These tiny fibers shed during manufacturing, washing, and wearing, carrying toxic organic pollutants and causing cell damage, oxidative stress, and genetic harm even at low exposure levels. The review covers current remediation strategies from washing machine filters to wastewater treatment, highlighting the scale of this often-overlooked source of microplastic exposure through both air and water.
Textile recycling- A review
This review examines the growing global textile waste problem and technologies for recycling synthetic and natural fibers. Synthetic textile waste is a major source of microplastic pollution because fibers shed during washing and break down into microplastic fragments in landfills.
Textile Microplastics in Wastewater: A Critical Review of Removal and Carbonization Technologies
This review study summarizes research on tiny plastic particles from clothes that get released when we wash synthetic fabrics like polyester, which then end up in our water systems. While water treatment plants can remove many of these microplastics, large amounts still build up in sewage, potentially contaminating our environment and food chain over time. Scientists are developing new ways to not only remove these plastic particles but also convert them into useful materials that can help clean polluted water.
