Summary

This review synthesizes the global scope of microplastic pollution across terrestrial, freshwater, and marine environments and evaluates emerging recycling technologies that could reduce plastic waste inputs at the source. Understanding both the scale of contamination and the limitations of current recycling solutions is essential for developing effective mitigation strategies.

Microplastic pollution represents a side-effect stemming from a global plastic waste mismanagement problem and includes degraded particles or mass produced plastic particles less than 5 mm in largest dimension. The small na... | Find, read and cite all the research you need on Tech Science Press
