Generation and Management of Microplastic Waste
Summary
Microplastics are generated throughout the plastic lifecycle from manufacturing to disposal and persist in both terrestrial and aquatic environments due to their resistance to degradation. Effective waste management strategies that intercept microplastics before environmental release are critical to preventing further accumulation in soils, water, and living organisms.
Microplastics (MPs), which are tiny plastic materials with size below 5 mm, are ubiquitous in both terrestrial and aquatic environments. They are an emerging pollutant posing potential threats to the biosphere. Once they get into the environment, microplastic...
