Herein, laccase from Trametes versicolor was used to fabricate carrier-free cross-linked laccase crystals (CLLCs) and deployed as a robust catalyst for waste effluent treatment. The surface morphology and involvement of functional group attributes of CLLCs were scrutinized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). As fabricated CLLCs were subjected to kinetic characterization by assessing the effects of pH environment, thermal profile, and substrate (determination of Kₘ and Vₘₐₓ) on the activity. A fully characterized CLLCs fraction was used to treat synthetic dyes containing waste effluents taken from various industries, i.e., Chenab Textile Industry, M-tax, Sitara, and National Silk & Rayon Mills. Degradation profile revealed 36.8%, 27.6%, 39.9%, and 26.4% degradation of Chenab Textile Industry, M-tax, Sitara, and National Silk & Rayon Mills, respectively, by the free form of laccase, whereas the biocatalytic activity of CCLCs led to 78.6%, 75.6%, 85.5%, and 63.3% degradation of those effluents. The decrease in peak and mass region alongside the presence of new peaks in GC–MS affirms the effective decolorization of contaminated waste effluents. CLLCs retained over 70% and 50% of their degradation activity after 3 and 5 cycles, respectively. In conclusion, CLLCs might represent a robust bioprocess to improve the usability of laccase for various synthetic dyes containing waste effluents to diminish environmental pollution from the dye-based industries.
