Summary

Green treatment technologies including biochar adsorption, phytoremediation, and microbial degradation offer sustainable alternatives to chemical-intensive approaches for removing microplastics from water and soil. Scaling these eco-friendly methods is essential to reducing microplastic loads in drinking water and agricultural systems without generating secondary chemical pollution.

In the current situation, to tackle global climate change and minimize plastic pollution, many countries are enacting policies and strict rules on the usage and alternatives of plastics. As a result, understanding the mechanisms of microplastic release into...
