Evaluation of the environmental perception of the users over solid residues on the beach of Tamandaré/Brazil
This Brazilian study surveyed beach users at Tamandaré beach about their awareness of solid waste pollution and waste disposal behaviors. Most users acknowledged the environmental problem of beach litter, but disposal habits did not always match awareness levels. Understanding public environmental perception is important for designing effective campaigns to reduce beach plastic pollution and microplastic generation.
Improving residential plastic waste management strategies for increasing value added to environmental sustainability
Researchers surveyed community awareness and behavior regarding plastic waste management in an Indonesian village, identifying gaps between knowledge and practice. Improving community engagement with proper plastic waste disposal is essential for reducing the plastic entering waterways and eventually becoming microplastics.
