Countermeasures on Plastic and Microplastic Garbage Management
AI summary Read the abstract
A global review of legislative and industry responses to microplastic pollution reveals a fragmented patchwork of national bans, voluntary commitments, and emerging international agreements. Coordinated policy action is urgently needed because current countermeasures fall far short of addressing the scale of plastic waste entering ecosystems.
In recent years, microplastic (MP), a new environmental pollutant, has got widespread attention around the world, and the discussions for (micro)plastic management have been increasing. In this chapter, the laws and actions concerning (micro)plastics management at...

Generation and Management of Microplastic Waste
AI summary Read the abstract
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.
