Green Solution: A Sustainable Solutions Microplastics Management
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed sustainable and environmentally friendly approaches to managing microplastic pollution, covering sources like tire wear and synthetic textiles and evaluating green remediation strategies. The review argues that effective microplastic management will require combining source reduction, improved waste handling, and nature-based removal methods.
Microplastics (MPs) pollution is a growing global challenge, with tiny plastic particles (< 5 mm) from sources like tire wear, synthetic textiles, and packaging infiltrating air, water, and soil. Each year, millions of tons plastics such as 2.9 million tons...
