Addressing Plastic Pollution: A Strategic Framework for Solving the Global Crisis
AI summary Read the abstract
This paper proposed a strategic framework for addressing global plastic pollution, integrating policy, technology, industry, and consumer behavior to reduce plastic production and improve end-of-life management. Without coordinated systemic intervention, current plastic production trajectories guarantee exponentially growing microplastic contamination of ecosystems and human bodies for generations to come.
Plastic Pollution and the Need for Responsible Plastic Consumption and Waste Management
AI summary Read the abstract
This paper reviewed the global scale of plastic pollution across environmental compartments and assessed current waste management practices — recycling, composting, incineration, and landfill — finding that all existing approaches result in leakage of plastics into natural environments. Closing the gap between plastic production and effective end-of-life management is a prerequisite for halting the continuous input of new microplastic particles into ecosystems and ultimately into human bodies.
Plastic Pollution and Framework Towards Sustainable Plastic Waste Management in Nigeria: Case Study
AI summary Read the abstract
Nigeria faces a growing plastic pollution crisis driven by the rapid expansion of companies producing plastic bottles and sachet water packaging. This paper examines the scale of the problem and proposes a framework for more sustainable plastic waste management, drawing on case studies of existing challenges and potential interventions. While focused on policy and waste management rather than microplastics specifically, reducing plastic waste at source directly limits the amount that fragments into environmental microplastics.
