Summary

This paper reviewed circular economy alternatives for managing agricultural plastics — including biodegradable materials, recycling strategies, and policy frameworks — to reduce the terrestrial and marine microplastic pollution they generate. Transitioning to circular agricultural plastic management is critical for stemming one of the largest and most diffuse terrestrial sources of microplastic contamination threatening soil and food safety.

The environmental impact caused by the ever-more extended use of plastics has resulted in the serious pollution of terrestrial and marine ecosystems, thus becoming an issue of global concern. In this context, and in order to fight against micro and nanoplastics for...
