The textile sector is considered as the 3rd largest source of water pollution and land degradation during 2020. 20% of the world’s water pollution is linked with textile production and utilisation. Textile washing releases 14 million tons of microplastics, according to European Environmental Agency estimates. Wastewater Treatment Plant [WWTP] has declared everyday normal releases of more than 4 million MP particles because of its tiny size (<5 mm) and low thickness (<1.2 g/cm3). Electrochemistry for the removal of tinny pollutants is recognised as an efficient treatment mechanism. The main aim of this research paper is to identify the efficiency of electro-coagulation technology using Fe and Al as anode and cathode in microplas-tic removal from Thailand’s textile industries. Results show the maximum 100% microplastic removal efficiency with pH 10 at a current density of 30 A/m2 within 60 minutes of the current supply. This paper helps to understand the role of electro-coagu-lation in Thailand textile wastewater plants and adopt the best available technique for microplastic removal.
