Synergy of Traditional and Digital tools for Waste Management in Developing Regions

Current World Environment 2023
Amila Abeynayaka

Summary

This editorial introduced a special issue on micro- and nanoplastic quantification via pyrolysis GC-MS, reviewing advances in thermal analytical methods for environmental plastic characterization. The editorial highlighted growing adoption of pyrolysis-based approaches as complementary to spectroscopic methods, particularly for small particle sizes and complex matrices.

Bringing together traditional methods and modern approaches is crucial when it comes to evaluating plastic pollution for the Development Officers from the Ministry of Environment in Sri Lanka. This approach blends well-established practices with the potential of today's technologies, creating a balanced plan to effectively tackle the complex issue of plastic pollution. To better understand how this combination of tradition and innovation can be used to assess plastic pollution, let's look at examples that fit the roles of Development Officers (Environment) within the Sri Lankan Ministry of Environment. This approach is essential for understanding the challenges of plastic pollution, creating effective plans to reduce it, and promoting sustainable practices locally, regionally, and globally.
