The Marine Plastic Litter Issue: A Social-Economic Analysis
Using the DPSIR framework, this study analyzed marine plastic litter pollution as a social-economic issue, finding that fewer than 10 peer-reviewed studies had applied this policy-relevant analytical model to ocean plastics, and identifying management response gaps in food security, transport, and shelter contexts.
Study on China’s Plastic Consumption Trend and Sustainable Development Countermeasures
Despite its title referencing plastic consumption, this paper focuses on forecasting China's future plastic demand and proposing policy frameworks for the plastics industry — not on microplastic pollution or health effects. It examines production trends, packaging, construction, and automotive sectors, and is a policy and economics paper rather than a microplastics science paper.
Re-imagining the driver–pressure–state–impact–response framework from an equity and inclusive development perspective
This paper critiques the widely used DPSIR environmental policy framework for overlooking social justice and equity, arguing that environmental burdens fall disproportionately on vulnerable communities. The critique is relevant to microplastic pollution, which often affects lower-income and coastal communities most severely.

Beach pollution from marine litter: Analysis with the DPSIR framework (driver, pressure, state, impact, response) in Tuscany, Italy
Researchers applied the DPSIR environmental analysis framework to understand the accumulation of litter and waste on beaches in Tuscany, Italy, finding that coastal ocean currents — not local waterways — were the main source of beach debris, while local sewage contaminated the sand with fecal bacteria at levels posing moderate health risks. The study demonstrates how a systems-level approach can help beach managers identify the true causes of marine litter and evaluate the effectiveness of existing cleanup measures.

Introducing Health-Climate-Economics and Rapid Viability Test for Candidate Solutions as a Tool for Automated Healthcare Procurement and Evaluation
This paper introduces a health-climate-economics framework for evaluating healthcare procurement decisions that account for climate and health co-benefits. It is not related to microplastics.
Sustainability-Driven Evaluation of Circular Plastic and Bioplastic Waste, Reused as Building Materials Using MCDA and SWOT Analysis
Scientists reviewed existing research on turning plastic waste into building materials like insulation and wall panels. They found that while these recycled plastic building materials can help reduce waste and may last longer than traditional materials, there are still concerns about fire safety and what happens when the materials eventually need to be replaced. This research could help builders and policymakers make better decisions about using recycled plastics in construction, potentially reducing the plastic waste that ends up in landfills and the environment.
Review of sustainable temporary housing and reuse strategy for post-disaster architectures: current trends and strategic gaps
This review analyzes current trends in sustainable temporary housing designed for disaster recovery, focusing on reuse strategies that minimize waste and environmental impact. While not directly about microplastics, the study addresses the broader challenge of reducing construction waste and plastic materials that contribute to environmental pollution. The authors identify gaps in current research and highlight the need for designs that balance emergency housing needs with long-term ecological sustainability.
The Impact of Adopting Digital Twins In Urban Development
This review examines how digital twin technology — virtual real-time models of physical systems — is being adopted in urban development and construction. This is an urban technology and smart city planning paper with no direct connection to microplastics research.
