Pollution Solutions: Removing Plastic Waste from the Environment
Summary
Researchers evaluated a range of engineering and policy solutions for removing plastic waste from the environment, including stormwater filtration systems, ocean cleanup technologies, and littering prevention programs. The review reveals that no single intervention is sufficient — preventing plastic from entering waterways requires combining source reduction, improved waste infrastructure, and active environmental remediation in parallel.
Plastic pollution is a major environmental issue, causing harm to aquatic animals and the environment. To prevent plastic from reaching our oceans, various techniques have been developed, including filtering storm- and wastewater, preventing littering, removing...
