Polyurethane is known for its wide applicability with easy fabrication along with adjustable characteristics. Furthermore, polyurethane-based materials have been reported to carry effective removal of various synthetic dyes. This chapter reviews the use of polyurethane based on updated reports on dye removal. The development of polyurethane and how green routes synthesis are researched are also highlighted. Modifications of polyurethane have been conducted via grafting, composite, and functionalization. Currently, biobased polyols employed in the fabrication of polyurethane are β-cyclodextrin, castor oil, palm oil, and Moringa oleifera gum. Zr-based metal organic framework and carbonaceous materials are notably promising fillers for adsorptive removal of dyes. Incorporation of nanoparticles into polyurethane matrix provides a photocatalytic feature to the material, hence, working synergistically with the adsorption. Polyurethane has a significant role as a support material for immobilization of fungal culture that could perform enzymatic degradation against dyes. In conclusion, polyurethane could be applied in the wastewater treatment of textile industry by considering the removal efficiency, stability, reusability, and cost-efficiency. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2022.
