The future of foods
Summary
Not relevant to microplastics — this paper is a brief commentary on sustainable food systems and resource depletion, with no substantive content on microplastics.
Current food systems reduce, deplete and pollute our limited global resources.

Contributions aux enjeux des transitions dans les domaines des produits et matériaux durables
This paper is not primarily about microplastics. It is a broad research summary covering sustainable food systems, life cycle assessment methodologies, alternative proteins, and biodegradable food packaging materials. While it briefly mentions including microplastics in life cycle assessment methods, the focus is on food system sustainability and antimicrobial packaging rather than microplastic contamination or health effects.
Characterisation and causal model of the holistic dynamics of the integral sustainability of the agri-food system
Not relevant to microplastics — this is an agricultural systems study developing a structural model to characterize the dynamics of sustainability in agri-food production systems.
Influence of Micro and Nanoplastics in Modern Food Chain: an Inevitable Intervention
This review examines the growing presence of microplastics and nanoplastics throughout the modern food chain, summarizing known entry points, concentrations in food commodities, and potential health consequences of regular human dietary exposure.
A comprehensive review of food waste valorization for the sustainable management of global food waste
This review examines methods for turning food waste into valuable products as part of sustainable waste management. While not directly about microplastics, the topic is relevant because food waste and plastic waste are often mixed together in waste streams, and food packaging is a major source of microplastic contamination. Better food waste management could help reduce the spread of microplastics that often accompany food waste into the environment.
Emerging Threat of Food Contamination by Microplastics and its Influence on Safety and Human Perspective
Researchers reviewed how widespread plastic use across industry has made microplastic contamination of food a serious public health concern, with particles entering the food supply through environmental pathways including runoff, wastewater, and air. Addressing this threat requires tighter regulations, better food supply monitoring, and public education on exposure risks.
