Clear"mi̇kroplasti̇k Atiklarin Neden Olduğu Makro Problemler: Sürdürülebi̇li̇r Yöneti̇m Yaklaşimi"
This Turkish-language review (with an English abstract) provides an overview of microplastic pollution as an emerging global environmental and human health problem, covering sources, distribution, and the need for sustainable management strategies including recycling and reducing single-use plastics. While primarily a summary of existing evidence, it emphasizes that regulatory action is urgently needed to tackle the scale of microplastic contamination across marine, freshwater, and terrestrial ecosystems.
International Law and Regulation of Marine Microplastics: Current Situation, Problems, and Development
This study evaluated the current international legal framework governing marine microplastic pollution and identified significant gaps in regulatory coverage. Researchers found that existing global and regional legal instruments lack the specificity and enforcement mechanisms needed to effectively address microplastic contamination. The study offers recommendations for strengthening international law to better regulate the sources and impacts of marine microplastic pollution.

From micro to macro: legal tools for combating plastic pollution at national, EU, and international levels
Researchers analyzed how laws at the national, European Union, and international levels have evolved to address microplastic pollution, tracing the shift from voluntary guidelines to binding rules like the EU's 2023 restriction on synthetic microparticles. The review identifies ongoing challenges — including inconsistent definitions and weak enforcement — and calls for stronger global governance to close the legal gaps.
Analysis of Marine Plastic Pollution and Environmental Problems
This review examines the sources, environmental and socioeconomic effects, and policy responses to marine plastic pollution, finding that while scientific knowledge is substantial, policy and regulatory initiatives have so far been inadequate and inconsistent across countries. The paper calls for stronger international coordination and more effective governance tools to meaningfully reduce plastic inputs to the ocean.
An International Legal Framework for Marine Plastics Pollution
This legal analysis reviews the current international framework for regulating marine plastics and identifies significant gaps and inconsistencies across treaties and agreements. The chapter argues that stronger, more unified global legal instruments are needed to effectively reduce plastic pollution in the world's oceans.
Prawna ochrona wód powierzchniowych przed zanieczyszczeniem mikroplastikiem w UE i w Polsce
This Polish legal analysis reviews EU and Polish regulatory frameworks for protecting surface waters from microplastic contamination, including the European Green Deal and circular economy plan. The paper assesses how effectively current water and waste management laws address microplastic pollution and identifies remaining regulatory gaps.
Legal Analysis of the Prevention of Marine Microplastics Pollution
This legal analysis examines international law frameworks governing marine microplastic pollution prevention, identifying obstacles including enforcement difficulties, weak jurisdictional clarity, and insufficient coordination among existing treaty regimes, while noting growing attention to microplastics in UN General Assembly resolutions and calling for stronger multilateral legal mechanisms.
From macro- to microplastics - Analysis of EU regulation along the life cycle of plastic bags
This paper analyzed EU regulations on plastics across the product lifecycle — from manufacture to disposal — identifying gaps and inconsistencies that allow microplastics to enter the environment despite existing legislative frameworks.
Investigation of Prevailing Directives Regarding Microplastic Pollution
This review examines prevailing regulations and directives governing microplastic pollution, which enters land and water environments through inadequate plastic waste management and urban wastewater discharge. The authors analyze gaps in current policy frameworks and assess the effectiveness of existing global and regional legislative approaches.
Penanggulangan Pencemaran Sampah Plastik Di Laut Berdasarkan Hukum Internasional
This Indonesian-language paper reviews international law frameworks for addressing marine plastic pollution, noting that approximately 80% of solid marine debris is plastic. The study discusses how international legal instruments can be strengthened to address the management of plastic waste that becomes marine microplastics.
International Legal Systems in Tackling the Marine Plastic Pollution: A Critical Analysis of UNCLOS and MARPOL
This legal analysis examines how two major international agreements, UNCLOS and MARPOL, address marine plastic pollution and identifies significant gaps in their ability to reduce it. The existing laws lack enforceable requirements for reducing land-based plastic waste and have uneven enforcement of rules for ship-based discharges. The paper proposes strengthening international law to promote a circular economy approach, which matters because marine plastic breaks down into microplastics that enter the seafood supply.
Microplastics: A Review of Policies and Responses
This critical review assembled current knowledge on policies and regulatory responses to plastic pollution globally, including legislative measures, economic instruments, and voluntary commitments. The authors identify a gap between scientific evidence and policy action and call for stronger, more coordinated international governance of plastic pollution.
The Role of Legislation, Regulatory Initiatives and Guidelines on the Control of Plastic Pollution
This review examines existing plastic pollution regulations globally, finding that despite many proposals and national bans, the overall effectiveness of legislation is unclear and most measures focus narrowly on marine plastics or single-use items. The authors argue that laws often lag behind science and face practical limitations given how deeply embedded plastics are in daily life.
Microplastics in oceans
Researchers reviewed the state of microplastic pollution in European oceans following the EU's Marine Strategy Framework Directive, highlighting that while plastic litter monitoring and impacts on fish and seabirds are well documented, more research is urgently needed to understand the broader ecological effects of microplastics on marine ecosystems. The review calls for stronger policy action to address plastic pollution beyond surface-level monitoring.
Marine monitoring in Europe: is it adequate to address environmental threats and pressures?
