ClearAbordando la contaminación plástica: análisis y perspectivas del inicio de las negociaciones hacia un acuerdo global vinculante
This Spanish-language paper analyzes the early negotiations toward a global binding agreement on plastic pollution, placing them in the context of the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Microplastic contamination of terrestrial and marine ecosystems is a central concern driving the push for an international plastics treaty.
Desafíos En La Construcción Del Desarrollo Sostenible
This Spanish-language essay examined challenges in achieving sustainable development goals, including plastic pollution reduction, as part of global efforts since the 1987 Brundtland Commission report. The urgency of addressing plastic and microplastic pollution is increasingly recognized within the broader sustainable development agenda.
¿Conoces las secuelas ambientales de la COVID-19?: microplásticos y su repercusión en el medio marino y la salud
This paper examines the environmental consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, with a focus on the increase in single-use plastic waste and microplastic pollution in Spanish-speaking regions. The authors call for greater public awareness and policy action to address these compounding environmental challenges.
Plasti̇k Atiklar Ve Sürdürülebi̇li̇rli̇k: Türki̇ye’de Plasti̇k Atik Yöneti̇mi̇
This Turkish-language policy paper examines the growing environmental burden of plastic waste in Turkey and evaluates current management practices against international agreements and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. It finds significant gaps between Turkey's plastic waste policies and global sustainability commitments, and proposes systemic improvements. The paper contributes to the global policy debate on how nations should manage plastic waste to reduce its environmental and health impacts.
The deficit of regulation of plastic waste and microplastics in Latin America: about health and bioaccumulation in México
This review examines plastic waste regulation gaps in Latin America, focusing on Mexico, and discusses how long-term microplastic bioaccumulation in tissues and organs poses health risks affecting the respiratory, immune, reproductive, and endocrine systems.
Inventories of plastic pollution sources, flows and hotspots as a baseline for national action plans: The experience of Mexico.
Mexico developed a national inventory of plastic pollution sources using material flow analysis, literature review, and stakeholder workshops to identify where plastic leaks into the environment across the waste management system. The process revealed critical leakage points in collection and disposal infrastructure, providing a baseline for Mexico's national plastic pollution action plan.
Contaminación ambiental por plásticos durante la pandemia y sus efectos en la salud humana
This Spanish-language review traced the history of plastic materials from the 19th century to the COVID-19 pandemic era, examining how increased face mask and single-use plastic disposal during the pandemic amplified environmental plastic contamination. The authors assess health consequences of pandemic-related plastic pollution for both ecosystems and human populations.
Kunststoffabfälle im Kontext der SDGs
This German-language review examines plastic waste challenges in the context of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, analyzing how current plastic production and disposal practices conflict with SDG targets for clean water, responsible consumption, and climate action.
The state of microplastic pollution in México: a review and evolving perspectives
A PRISMA-based review of microplastic research in Mexico documented growing contamination across marine, freshwater, and terrestrial environments, characterized the dominant polymer types and particle shapes, and identified major knowledge gaps needing attention in the Mexican context.
El reciclaje de plásticos, un reto para lograr una economía circular
This Spanish-language review examines plastic recycling as a key component of circular economy, noting that low consumer awareness and infrastructure gaps must be overcome to meaningfully reduce plastic pollution.
Plasticultura en México: Impactos Ambientales y Desafíos para la Sostenibilidad
This systematic review analyzes the environmental impact of agricultural plastic use in Mexico, where over 45,000 hectares use plastic mulches, greenhouse covers, and irrigation systems. Poor management of this agricultural plastic waste contributes to microplastic pollution in soils, which can affect crop quality and potentially enter the food chain.
Plastic management to reduce environmental pollution
This study designed a community-based plastic management program in a Mexican municipality to reduce PET pollution by exchanging collected plastics for basic food goods, linking environmental goals with local economic incentives.
Enhancing Sustainability Development for Waste Management through National–Local Policy Dynamics
This study analyzed waste management policy coherence across national and local government levels in Indonesia, finding significant gaps in implementation that undermine sustainable development goals and allow plastic pollution from poor waste management practices to persist.
La educación ambiental: problemática de los plásticos de un solo uso en las instituciones educativas
This Spanish-language paper explores environmental education strategies for addressing single-use plastic problems in school settings, examining how formal education can build environmental awareness and culture around plastic waste. Educating younger generations about plastic pollution is a long-term strategy for reducing the behavior that creates microplastic contamination.
Impactos ambientales por residuos sólidos generados durante la pandemia de COVID-19 y alternativas de solución
This review synthesized research on the environmental impacts of solid waste generated during the COVID-19 pandemic—particularly disposable PPE—and evaluated proposed solutions including incineration, recycling, and biodegradable alternatives.
Una revisión sobre investigaciones en basura marina en Colombia: Aportes, desafíos y oportunidades
This Spanish-language review surveys research on marine litter in Colombia's coastal and marine environments, identifying contributions, challenges, and opportunities in this area. The authors highlight that rivers carrying plastic waste into the sea cause severe ocean contamination, and connect this problem to UN Sustainable Development Goal 14 on life below water.
The Massive Misuse of Face Mask as a Risk to COVID-19 Pandemic in Latin American: The Case of Mexico
Researchers examined face mask waste mismanagement during the COVID-19 pandemic in Mexico and Latin America, finding that inadequate waste management infrastructure, poor public compliance, and high single-use mask consumption created significant environmental contamination risks in already strained waste systems.
A Review of Future Household Waste Management for Sustainable Environment in Malaysian Cities
This review investigates the current state and future directions of household waste management in Malaysian cities, focusing on plastic and paper waste challenges exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The study evaluates existing recycling practices and governance frameworks to identify pathways toward smarter and more sustainable municipal solid waste management.
