     Abstract The aim of this study was to assess the potential of vermifiltration combined with biochar to treat domestic wastewater contaminated with MPs using Eisenia foetida earthworm. The study experiments were conducted at the Department of Soil Science and Environment, Faculty of Agriculture, Khon Kaen University, Thailand with a model experiment completely randomized design: CRD 4 treatment 4 replications ( geofilter, vermifilter, geofilter with biochar and vermifilter with biochar) and using samples of domestic wastewater from wastewater treatment plant at Khon Kaen University. The result showed that using vermifiltration combined with biochar could reduce the biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS) in domestic wastewater treatment highest followed by vermifilter with biochar, vermifiltrater, geofilter with biochar and geofilter, respectively. The results demonstrated the percentage removal of BOD was 93.95±8.08%, n = 8, COD (91.18±11.18%, n = 8), TDS (84.92±14.40%, n = 8) but Phosphate, Nitrate were increased. Moreover, the amount of microplastic in wastewater in effluent was decreased compared with influent by up to 70-90% in all treatment. After 8 weeks of the experiment, the most common is the shape of the fibers and fragment (84.85 and 15.15% respectively) Therefore, the farmer could produce vermiwash as the biofertilizer for agricultural production and reduce the cost of using chemical fertilizer. Using vermifiltration for wastewater treatment in domestic wastewater could be the eco-solution for nutrient recovery, water resource recycles and minimize pollution and efficient wastewater treatment. There are ecologically sustainable solution for reducing the environmental impacts in developing countries.
