2026
R. Rathinamoorthy, R. Rathinamoorthy, N. Logitha

Summary

This review explores mycelium-based materials as a sustainable alternative to conventional plastics, which shed harmful microplastics and microfibers into ecosystems. Fungal materials could help reduce plastic production at the source, potentially curbing the growing burden of microplastic pollution on human and environmental health.

In today’s rapidly advancing world, plastic pollution is increasing at an alarming rate. Plastic materials and their various forms, such as microplastics and microfibers, pose significant issues, leading to the degradation of ecosystems and life on Earth. This...
