Abstract
Environmental aspects are now being considered in the selection of consumer items, including textiles, all over the world. These businesses generate enormous amounts of wastewater because, according to the World Bank, textile processing is responsible for 20% of all water pollution worldwide. High concentrations of suspended solids (SS), phosphates, dyes, salts, organo-pesticides, non-biodegradable organics, and heavy metals are typically present in these effluents. The textile industry is looking for sustainable wastewater treatment solutions that help to lower their operational expenses as well as their water footprint due to increasing water scarcity and environmental regulations. In light of the present problems, sustainable wastewater treatment can be the greatest option for the textile sector. Therefore, it is crucial to talk about and support awareness-raising initiatives that serve to lessen the present problems related to textile wastewater. Because of this, this chapter will go through numerous sustainable methods of wastewater treatment.
