Abstract	Dyeing the textile material is essential for its aesthetic appeal. This process uses a large amount of water and releases untreated wastewater laden with hazardous chemicals. It has a major contribution to environmental pollution. Conventional dyeing methods are energy-intensive, which contributes to global greenhouse gas emissions. It is accepted that the textile industry is one of the highest water consumers. To limit this wastewater process, researchers and technologies have developed transformative alternatives. This review paper focuses on the latest advancements in waterless dyeing methods, like supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) dyeing, plasma treatment, and digital printing, and evaluates their potential to reduce water usage and chemicals, and increase dye uptake. These dyeing technologies are sustainable and eco-friendly. The paper explores carbon-neutral strategies that aim to minimize the carbon footprint of textile coloration. Using renewable energy in dyeing units, bio-based dyes, closed-loop systems, and eco-efficient machinery are adopted to reduce the environmental impact of the dyeing process.
