Integrating the Circular Economy Principles to Tackle Plastic Pollution in Aquaculture
Summary
This review examined plastic pollution in aquaculture systems — including microplastics shed from nets, cages, and buoys — and evaluated circular economy strategies such as material substitution, recycling loops, and biodegradable alternatives to reduce plastic waste. Since aquaculture is a major global food source, microplastic contamination of farmed seafood represents a direct and growing pathway for human dietary exposure that demands systemic industry-level solutions.
Plastic pollution represents a pervasive and escalating threat to aquaculture systems worldwide, infiltrating ecosystems through the degradation of commonly used materials like nets, cages, and buoys, thereby contributing to environmental degradation, bioaccumulation...
