Management of plastic waste: A bibliometric mapping and analysis
A bibliometric analysis of plastic waste management research over five years identified key themes including recycling, biodegradable alternatives, and policy instruments, with rapidly growing attention to microplastics as a distinct subfield.
Reviewing a Decade of Zero Waste Research: Bibliometric Analysis
A bibliometric analysis reviewed ten years of zero waste research (2013-2022), mapping key publication trends, influential authors, and emerging research themes. Zero waste strategies are directly relevant to reducing plastic waste and the microplastics generated when plastics degrade in the environment.
Scientific Trends in Animal Waste and Environmental Sustainability: A Bibliometric Study
Researchers conducted a bibliometric analysis of 33,887 academic studies on the environmental effects of animal waste to reveal trends in publication distribution, research collaborations, and emerging topics. The study mapped the global landscape of animal waste and environmental sustainability research, identifying leading countries, journals, and keyword clusters that reflect the field's evolution toward circular economy and pollution mitigation approaches.
Plastic Waste Management: A Bibliometric Analysis (1992–2022)
This bibliometric study mapped 30 years of scientific publications on plastic waste management (1992–2022), finding rapid growth in research output with China as the dominant contributor. Plastic waste management and microplastics emerged as the most influential research keywords, reflecting growing global concern about plastic pollution and water contamination. While this is a research landscape overview rather than an experimental study, it provides useful context for understanding how the field has evolved and where knowledge gaps remain.
Characterization of excavated plastic waste from an Indian dumpsite: Investigating extent of degradation and resource recovery potential
Researchers characterized excavated plastic waste from an Indian dumpsite to assess the extent of degradation after burial, investigating whether landfill-mined plastics retain sufficient material quality for recycling or energy recovery. The study found varied degradation levels depending on plastic type and burial conditions, with implications for circular economy recovery strategies.
Progress of Ecological Restoration Research Based on Bibliometric Analysis
This bibliometric analysis of over 23,000 publications from 1990 to 2022 mapped global ecological restoration research trends, identified key hotspots around topics like soil and vegetation recovery, and projected future directions for the field.

Enhanced Landfill Mining in Thailand: Policy Implications from Qualitative Case Study Analysis
A qualitative case study analysis of enhanced landfill mining (ELFM) projects in Thailand assessed policy implications for recovering materials and energy from the country's 7.1 million tons of non-sanitarily managed municipal solid waste. The study identified regulatory barriers, economic incentives, and governance gaps that need to be addressed to scale up ELFM in Thailand.

A bibliometric perspective on the occurrence and migration of microplastics in soils amended with sewage sludge
Researchers used bibliometric analysis to map the growing body of research on microplastics in soils that receive sewage sludge.
