Synthetic and natural fibers are widely used in the textile industry. Natural include cellulose-based materials like cotton, regenerated viscose as well protein-based such silk wool. fibers, on other hand, PET polyamides (like nylon). Due to significant differences their chemistry, distinct dyeing processes required, each generating specific waste. For example, cellulose exhibit chemical inertness toward dyes, necessitating auxiliaries that contribute wastewater contamination, whereas synthetic a major source of non-biodegradable microplastic emissions. Addressing environmental impact fiber processing requires deep molecular-level understanding enable informed decision-making. This manuscript emphasizes potential solutions, particularly through biodegradation related waste, aligning with United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 6, which promotes clean water sanitation. instance, cost-effective methods using enzymes or microbes can aid associated solutions while also addressing wastewater, contains high concentrations unreacted salts, highly water-soluble pollutants. paper covers different aspects dyeing, degradation mechanisms, waste produced by industry, highlighting microbial-based strategies for mitigation. The integration not only offers solution managing large volumes but paves way sustainable technologies.
