“…Additionally, textiles are usually a mixture of natural and petroleum-derived synthetic fibres which present a complex recycling challenge. Current understanding of the eco-toxicological impacts of textile waste have been summarized elsewhere 4 . The current interest in circularity and sustainability have given rise to new biotechnological processes utilizing textile waste in a range of applications 5 – 7 .…”

Textile waste contains both natural fibres such as cotton and bamboo viscose, and synthetic fibres such as elastane and polyester. As a complex mixture, textiles present a challenging pollution issue as breakdown in landfill results in microplastics entering water and soil environments, and incineration results in particulate air pollution. Here the use of edible fungi as bioremediation agents of waste textiles is described for the first time. Three species of filamentous fungi were shown to colonise and grow on mixed fibre textile waste (underpants made from 28% cotton: 68% bamboo viscose: 4% elastane). All three fungi were able to metabolise the common textile dye Reactive Black 5 to some extent. The metabolome was captured to elucidate the dye remediation pathway utilized and to characterise the volatiles released during bioremediation with a view to assessing the safety profile of this process for future industrial applications. The results suggest that edible fungi may be cultivated on textiles, and that some interesting and useful compounds may be produced in the process. This has great biotechnological potential. No mushrooms were produced in this study, suggesting that further work will be needed to optimise conditions for crop production from waste textiles.

“…Examples include tire wear on roads 1 and washing of synthetic textiles. 2 As rain, 3 wind, 4 and rivers 5 transport and disperse these microplastics throughout the environment, their remediation becomes challenging. Instead, efforts should focus on preventing more microplastics from entering the environment.…”

“…There are numerous industries, such as textile, leather, paper, and pharmaceutical ones, that release dyes into water streams 3 . Over the past few decades, the human lifestyle has changed significantly, and the demand for contemporary clothing has significantly expanded textile production 4 . The textile industry consumes nearly two‐thirds of global dye production, with up to 50% entering the environment, posing threats to both people and the environment 5 .…”

The goal of the current study was to determine the optimal level (value) of adsorption process variables for the adsorption of color from binary aqueous solution. The impact of key adsorption factors, including adsorbent dose, initial color concentration, and contact time, on the color removal effectiveness of Zinc@magnetite nanocomposites (Zin@Fe3O4(ME) produced from bacterial extracts and Zin@Fe3O4(M) produced from bacterial cell mass), has been examined. Utilizing an L9 orthogonal array (OA), average values and the SN ratio for each variable at three diverse points are calculated. ANOVA has determined the most advantageous optimum conditions for raw and SN data. According to the study, the adsorbent dose is shown to be the most important parameter for color adsorption, while contact duration is determined to be the least important factor based on Pareto chart analysis. The percentage of color removal at optimal values for Zin@Fe3O4(M) and Zin@Fe3O4(ME) nanocomposites, respectively, was found to be 81% and 73%. The optimal parameters were found to be 12.5 mg of adsorbent, 125 mg/L initial dye concentration, and 90 min of contact time at pH 7, room temperature. The confirmatory experiments conducted under optimized conditions revealed a higher percentage of color eliminated than was optimized in each test run of the Taguchi design, proving the credibility of the process variables optimized within the designated experiments.
