Prioritizing capture and utilization for microplastic management in water systems
Summary
Researchers argue that managing microplastic pollution in water systems should prioritize physical capture over degradation strategies, and that converting captured microplastics into valuable materials could support a circular carbon economy while reducing environmental and health risks.
Urgent action is needed to tackle microplastic pollution in aquatic environments. Prioritizing physical capture over degradation can mitigate environmental and health risks, and valorizing captured microplastics into valuable materials could contribute to a circular carbon economy.
