Introduction: global plastic and its regulation
AI summary Read the abstract
This book introduction examines the current extent of the plastic pollution crisis and regulatory approaches to address it, using an interdisciplinary approach. Effective global regulation of plastic pollution is essential for preventing further accumulation of microplastics in marine and terrestrial ecosystems.
Addressing one of the most pressing environmental issues, this topical book carefully inspects the current extent of the plastic pollution crisis and observes contemporary approaches to its regulation. By adopting a strong interdisciplinary approach, this book fully encapsulates the key challenges and solutions surrounding this globally applicable problem.
