Summary

Researchers documented the weathering and fragmentation of single-use plastic straws stranded on Panjang Island beach in Indonesia, providing preliminary data on how beachcast plastic items generate secondary microplastics in coastal environments. This work highlights shoreline plastic debris as a direct, ongoing source of microplastic pollution in marine and coastal ecosystems.

Study Type Environmental

Plastic has been extensively produced and used in life due to its practicality. Plastic waste due to mismanagement is found in the environment and has become a global threat. Single-use plastic straws of various colors were observed stranded at the beach of Panjang...
