Summary

This research paper reviews different ways governments and communities are trying to solve the growing problem of tiny plastic pieces (called microplastics) that are now found everywhere in our environment. The authors examined regulations, international agreements, and new approaches like recycling programs to reduce plastic pollution. This matters because these tiny plastic particles can end up in our food, water, and air, so finding effective solutions to reduce plastic waste could help protect human health.

Micro- and nanoplastics in the environment are a growing global concern driven by the rising production and use of plastics in all sectors of society. This chapter explores measures to address the adverse impacts of plastic pollution through regulatory frameworks, initiatives and transformative approaches. It offers insights into two key strategies for reshaping the current plastic system, alongside a summary of regional and global governance efforts. By examining the current state of European Union regulations and the United Nations plastic treaty negotiations, as well as the opportunities and difficulties of circular economy and citizen science approaches, the chapter encourages readers to engage with a broad body of scientific literature on plastic pollution. Ultimately, it seeks to inspire more interdisciplinary thinking and foster collaborations on the pressing challenges society faces with the omnipresence of plastics.
