ClearPreface
This book preface introduces a collection on data visualization at the intersection of art, design, and technology. The publication is focused on information design and is not related to microplastic research.
Extraction Method of Brand Symbol Features from the Perspective of Digital Culture
Researchers studied how digital cultural services influence the visual features and meanings of brand symbols in the soft drinks industry. The paper focuses on brand communication and digital marketing, and is not directly related to microplastics or environmental pollution.
From Design Decisions to Sustainable Development: Exploring Textile and Fashion Designers’ Challenges in the Portuguese Textile and Fashion Industry
Despite its title referencing sustainable textile and fashion design, this paper studies the barriers Portuguese fashion designers face when trying to incorporate environmental sustainability into their work — not microplastic pollution. It examines industry challenges like greenwashing, supply chain opacity, and cost pressures and is not relevant to microplastics or human health.
Digital Innovations for a Circular Plastic Economy in Africa
This paper is not about microplastics; it is a book examining digital innovations and circular economy approaches to plastic waste management in sub-Saharan Africa.
An Examination of Microplastics: Environmental Impact, Sustainability, and Recyclability Innovation
This paper examined the environmental impact of microplastics, sustainability implications of current plastic use, and recycling options to address the plastic pollution crisis. It called for a transition toward circular economy approaches that reduce primary plastic production and increase recycled content.
A Bibliometric perspective on the evolution of research in sludge management: Opportunities and challenges
A bibliometric analysis traced the evolution of research on a specific topic related to microplastics, mapping publication trends, leading authors, and emerging themes over time. Bibliometric studies help identify where the field is growing and where knowledge gaps remain to be filled.
How can the fashion industry be sustainable? The use of immersive technology in fashion design for innovation, digital transformation, and sustainability
This study examines how immersive digital technologies can help the fashion industry adopt sustainable practices, exploring how digitised design and production processes can reduce environmental impacts including textile microplastic pollution.
Advancing sustainable fashion with 3D and AR technologies: a virtual fashion film approach
This paper is not about microplastics; it investigates how 3D design software and augmented reality tools can be used in virtual fashion films to promote sustainability in the fashion industry by reducing material waste.
On the issue of microplastics in the environment
This paper examines the origins of microplastic pollution, arguing that its emergence is not solely attributable to polymer chemistry advances and cannot be explained simply by physicochemical degradation processes acting on plastic materials.
Sustentabilidade no processo produtivo da indústria cosmética: uma revisão da literatura
This systematic literature review examined sustainability practices in the cosmetics industry, including the growing concern over microplastic ingredients in cosmetic products. The review identified trends toward greener formulations, sustainable packaging, and consumer-driven pressure for environmental responsibility. The cosmetics sector is increasingly recognizing its environmental impact and exploring alternatives to synthetic microplastics.
System innovation and life cycle thinking in packaging value chain: the circularity of plastics.
This paper examines the role of circular economy principles in reducing plastic packaging waste, noting that despite existing recycling systems, plastics remain pervasive environmental contaminants. The authors argue that redesigning packaging systems for recyclability and reducing over-packaging are essential steps to address microplastic pollution at its source.
Trend analysis of sustainability claims in meat and dairy product launches (2004–2023): a case study of the UK, the USA, and China
Despite its title referencing sustainability and meat and dairy products, this paper studies trends in sustainability marketing claims on food product labels across the UK, USA, and China from 2004 to 2023 — not microplastic pollution. It examines which types of "green" claims have grown fastest in food product launches, and is not relevant to microplastics or human health.
Use of Qualitative Tools for Evaluating the Implementation of Green Design in Industries
This review evaluates qualitative tools used to assess how well industries have implemented green design and supply chain management practices. While not directly about microplastics, better green design in manufacturing can reduce plastic waste at the source and lower environmental contamination.
Air Quality Testing- a Design Thinking Approach
Not relevant to microplastics — this paper describes a design-thinking methodology for building IoT-based air quality monitoring systems, with no connection to plastic particle research.
Research on Application of Environmental Protection Concept in Modern Product Design
This paper explores how principles of environmental sustainability are being integrated into modern product design, examining how green design concepts can reduce ecological impact while meeting consumer needs. The analysis calls for applying low-carbon, circular economy values throughout the product development process.
Biomimicry Design Education Essentials
This paper reviews how biomimicry — design inspired by natural systems — is being integrated into education programs. It is an educational design paper with no relevance to microplastics or environmental health.
Learning from Nature to Achieve Material Sustainability: Generative AI for Rigorous Bio-inspired Materials Design
This review explores how artificial intelligence can help design sustainable bio-inspired materials that could replace conventional plastics. By learning from nature's degradable materials, AI tools could help develop alternatives that do not persist in the environment as microplastics. While not a direct health study, this research addresses a root cause of microplastic pollution by working toward materials that break down safely in natural ecosystems.
Speculative designs in educational settings: Tension-patterns from a (mostly) European perspective
This paper is not about microplastics; it reports findings from a cross-European study of speculative design methods in higher education settings.
