Summary

This chapter surveys practical strategies and technological innovations for managing plastic waste, from improved recycling systems to novel material substitutes, addressing the mounting crisis of plastic accumulation in urban and aquatic ecosystems. Effective plastic waste management is a critical upstream intervention for reducing the volume of material that eventually fragments into the microplastics now found everywhere on Earth.

The growing issue of plastic waste poses a significant challenge to environmental sustainability, particularly in urban and aquatic ecosystems. This chapter examines practical strategies and technological innovations for managing plastic waste, starting with an...
