This study analyzed how greenwashing affects corporate financial performance and reputation, finding that deceptive environmental marketing can provide short-term benefits but exposes companies to regulatory and reputational risks, and recommends enhanced oversight frameworks.
Impacts of COVID-19 pandemic on environment, society, and food security
Researchers reviewed the environmental and societal impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, noting that while lockdowns temporarily reduced air and water pollution, the pandemic increased release of microcontaminants and biomedical plastic waste while severely disrupting global food security, particularly for vulnerable populations in low-income countries.
Assessing Indonesia’s Environmental Laws Pertaining to the Abatement of Marine Plastic Pollution: A Euphemism?
This study examined Indonesia's environmental laws governing marine plastic pollution, finding significant gaps between legislative intent and enforcement capacity, and arguing that stronger regulatory frameworks, improved waste infrastructure, and community-based approaches are needed to reduce the country's large contribution to ocean plastics.
Disaster from water pollution in Indonesia: Unsustainable human interaction with the environment and its social impacts
Researchers reviewed water pollution sources and impacts in Indonesia, particularly the Muara Teluk Jakarta area, using secondary data from environmental agency reports and published literature. Organic, inorganic, and microplastic pollution from rapid population growth and inadequate waste management were identified as primary threats to water quality and public health.
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on single-use of plastics in some American Firms: Policy Insights
Researchers examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on corporate waste management programs across 42 American firms in Detroit, Atlanta, and Houston, finding significant changes in single-use plastic consumption patterns. The study provided policy insights on how pandemic conditions shifted corporate waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and recovery practices.
Pengaruh Impor Sampah Plastik dari Belanda terhadap Keamanan Lingkungan di Indonesia
This study examined how plastic waste imports from the Netherlands affect environmental security in Indonesia, finding that cross-border waste trade exacerbates pollution and undermines Indonesia's domestic environmental regulations.
Corporate Social Responsibility Practices Amid Political and Economic Transformation in Europe
Not relevant to microplastics — this paper analyses corporate social responsibility practices and greenwashing among European companies in the context of post-pandemic political and economic change.
The Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Nutrition, Health and Environment in Indonesia: A Qualitative Investigation of Perspectives from Multi-Disciplinary Experts
Qualitative expert interviews in Indonesia found that health behaviors heightened during the COVID-19 pandemic were not sustained afterward, and that the pandemic may have worsened both nutritional inequalities and marine plastic pollution. The findings generate hypotheses for future quantitative research to guide policy responses.
Greenfield, Mergers & Acquisitions, Energy Consumption, and Environmental Performance in selected SAARC and ASEAN countries
This economic study examined how different types of foreign direct investment affect energy consumption and environmental performance in various countries. Understanding the relationship between economic activity and environmental outcomes is relevant to predicting how plastic production and pollution change with development.
Green Accounting Practices in Bali’s Hospitality Industry: A Strategic Approach to Sustainable Hotel Management
Researchers examined green accounting practices in ten major hotels in Bali's hospitality industry, focusing on environmental protection, waste management, eco-friendly purchasing, and energy conservation using a qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews. The study found that implementing green accounting as a strategic approach enables hotels to balance economic growth with environmental sustainability while responding to increasing regulatory and market pressures.
The Impact of COVID-19 on Sustainability and Changing Consumer Behavior in the Textile Industry. Is it Significant?

Understanding how crisis events shift consumer priorities informs marketing strategies for sustainable fashion brands.
Pro-environmental communication activities of paper and plastic packaging producers. Evidence from Poland
This study analyzed environmental communication in annual reports of Polish packaging producers, examining how transparently they report on circular economy and sustainability efforts. Better corporate transparency about plastic packaging impacts is important for policy accountability and reducing the plastic waste that becomes microplastic pollution.
Environmental Blindspots: Identification and Mitigation using Technologies, Education, and Policies
Researchers define the concept of environmental blindspots -- pollution problems deprioritized due to corporate interests, consumer preferences, or regulatory inertia -- and propose technology, education, and policy approaches to address them.
Physical, Chemical, and Biological Pollution in Water, Air and Soil Industrial Products From PT. Torabika Eka Universe in Cikupa Tangerang
