Sustainable Management and Valorization of Microplastics

2024 2 citations

AI summary Read the abstract

This review examines sustainable strategies for managing and valorizing microplastic pollution across terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, exploring remediation alternatives ranging from biological to advanced engineering approaches. Understanding viable management pathways is essential for addressing the persistent, ubiquitous threat microplastics pose to ecosystems and ultimately human health through food and water contamination.

A rising danger to terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems is microplastic (MP) pollution. It is plentiful, enduring in the environment, and complex. Research on alternatives and prospective remediation strategies has received a great deal of attention due to the...
