Plastic pollution is a problem and the world currently dealing with its impacts on aquatic environments. This study investigates perceptions knowledge of process controllers managers from twelve water wastewater treatment plants within two local municipalities (Thulamela Makhado) in Vhembe District Municipality, South Africa. The plastic pollution, limited resources economic difficulties, effects pollutants systems, lack information training, institutional support documents were five main themes that identified semi-structured interviews workers plants. findings show serious issues regarding waste affecting operations, ineffective methods removing plastics inadequate collection services rural areas. Financial material limits make managing even more difficult, inconsistent training it difficult for to manage consistently. responses highlight need improved management plans, financial advanced filtration continuous provide skills needed reduce pollution. These measures are crucial maintaining quality increasing plants’ operational effectiveness.

The textile industry consumes large volumes of freshwater, producing enormous wastewater containing chemicals from dyeing and bathing, but also microplastics concentrations that have not been deeply studied. Liquid wastes the synthetic natural manufacturers were treated with a new disruptive technology (Adiabatic Sonic Evaporation Crystallization, ASEC), which completely removed contaminants water, providing distilled water crystallized solids. current study presents characterization industrial residues obtained by-products: organic matter contained in solid residue analyzed characterized through chromatography. results analyses displayed compounds such as benzene, benzoic acid 2,4-dymethyl-1-heptene found samples degraded polyester polypropylene. Meanwhile, polyester, nylon PMM polymer. After depuration samples, retained phase, together (sulfate surfactants) resulting on clean water. This is first focused generated by their prevention removing them waste.
