Bioremediation Techniques for Microplastics Removal
AI summary Read the abstract
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.
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...

Bioremediation Techniques of Microplastic Waste Management
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examines bioremediation approaches for microplastic pollution, focusing on microbial and biological systems capable of degrading or removing plastic particles from contaminated environments. Bioremediation represents a scalable, lower-cost complement to physical removal technologies and is critical for addressing the vast volumes of microplastics already dispersed through soils and aquatic systems.
Bioremediation Strategies for Microplastic Removal in Impacted Aquatic Environments
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examined bioremediation strategies — using microorganisms, algae, and other biological agents — to remove microplastic contamination from urban aquatic environments including drinking water treatment plants. Bioremediation offers a potentially scalable, low-cost pathway to reducing the microplastic load in water systems before plastics reach tap water and human consumers.
Bioremediation Approach for Plastics and Microplastics Wastes
AI summary Read the abstract
Researchers reviewed bioremediation strategies—using microorganisms and biological agents—to degrade plastics and microplastics in contaminated environments.

Microplastic Pollution: Harmful Effects and Possible Bioremediation Strategies
AI summary Read the abstract
This review examines the harmful effects of microplastic pollution on terrestrial and marine ecosystems and surveys potential bioremediation strategies — including microbial, phytoremediation, and combined approaches — for mitigating contamination. Given that microplastics persist indefinitely in the environment and accumulate in food webs, identifying effective bioremediation pathways is essential for reducing the chronic dietary and environmental exposure burden on human and animal populations.
