Application of implementation science framework to develop and adopt regulatory science in different national regulatory authorities
Summary
This paper is not relevant to microplastics; it discusses applying implementation science frameworks to help national regulatory authorities develop and adopt evidence-based decision-making practices.
The application of the implementation science framework is useful for conceptualizing and planning the development and adoption of RS for evidence-based regulatory decision-making. Continuous commitment to the RS development and regular review of the RS goals by the decision-makers are important for DRAs to meet the ever-changing scientific challenges in their regulatory decision-making process.

Environmental Management Systems and Microplastic Pollution: Bridging Science, Policy, and Practice
This review examined how environmental management systems can be applied to address microplastic pollution, bridging the gap between scientific research, corporate practice, and regulatory policy. The authors found that voluntary management frameworks and ISO-aligned approaches offer practical pathways for industry to reduce microplastic emissions, though mandatory regulatory standards are ultimately needed for systemic change.
