Summary

Phycoremediation—using algae to capture and remove pollutants—emerges as a promising biological strategy for mitigating micro- and nanoplastic contamination, particularly in Asia where plastic consumption is highest. This approach offers a cost-effective and environmentally sustainable alternative to conventional plastic removal technologies.

Asia is the largest global plastic consumer, with about 35% of the world’s plastic consumption. Considering that Malaysia is a part of Asia, it is evident that plastic use is extensive. Unfortunately, discarding plastic causes several environmental hazards and...
