Microplastics (MPs), particularly fibrous MPs, have emerged as a significant environmental concern due to their pervasive presence in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. The textile industry is contributor MP pollution, through the production of synthetic fibers natural/synthetic blends, which release substantial amounts MPs. Among various types MPs account for approximately 49–70% total load found wastewater globally, primarily originating from manufacturing processes domestic laundering fabrics. shedding poses challenge management, requiring comprehensive examination mechanisms strategies mitigation involved. To address existing knowledge gaps regarding during processes, this brief review examines current state production, covering both dry wet identifies sources pathways industrial treatment plants environment. It further provides critical evaluation recycling upcycling technologies applicable highlighting limitations exploring potential future applications. Additionally, it explores integrating sustainable practices developing regulatory frameworks facilitate transition towards circular economy within industry. Given expanding application textiles across sectors, including medical, agricultural, fields, scope microplastic pollution extends beyond conventional uses, necessitating urgent attention impact bio-based textiles. This consolidates outlines research support stakeholders, policymakers, researchers formulating effective, science-based reducing textile-derived advancing sustainability.
