Summary

Bioremediation using microorganisms and biological agents offers promising low-cost, environmentally compatible strategies for degrading and removing microplastics from ocean and freshwater systems. Advancing these techniques could reduce the long-term accumulation of microplastics in food webs and limit human dietary exposure.

Study Type Environmental

Plastics’ unique physical and chemical properties made them indispensable parts of our everyday life and technology. Due to the mismanagement of plastic wastes, 10% of global plastic production annually entering the ocean accounts for 60–80% of marine...
