CIRAIG/PlasticFADE: PlasticFADE v1.0.0

Microplastics 2026
Yibo Tang, Nadim Saadi, Anne-Marie Boulay, Jérôme Lavoie

Summary

PlasticFADE v1.0.0 is a first public release of an empirical computational model for calculating the fragmentation and degradation rates of macro- and microplastics across environmental compartments. Validated fragmentation models are a critical scientific tool for predicting long-term microplastic accumulation trajectories and informing policy decisions about plastic production and pollution management timescales.

First public release of PlasticFADE, an empirical model for calculating fragmentation and degradation of macro- and microplastics in the environment. This version is associated with a paper currently under review. Recommended citation and explanation: [preprint to be added]
