Summary

Biopolymer-based coagulation and flocculation agents were shown to effectively remove microplastics from wastewater, offering a more sustainable alternative to synthetic chemical flocculants. The approach supports eco-friendly microplastic treatment that avoids adding further chemical pollutants to effluents.

Study Type Environmental

This review explores nanocellulose and biopolymers as sustainable solutions for removing microplastics from wastewater, highlighting their efficiency, limitations, and the need for their integration with treatment systems and supportive regulations.
