Overview

Review reveals severe ecosystem impacts from macro- and microplastic waste in regional waters, highlighting urgent needs for regulatory action and advanced remediation.

Key Points

To evaluate the drivers, ecological distribution, and environmental impacts of macro- and microplastic pollution in aquatic environments and identify effective mitigation strategies.
Conducted an environmental case analysis examining terrestrial and aquatic plastic debris generation, waste management limitations, and regulatory challenges.
Evaluated national collaborative frameworks and advanced engineering solutions, including activated carbon adsorption, for contaminant removal.
Identified single-use plastic bags, lack of collection infrastructure, and poor waste management as primary contributors to pervasive macro- and microplastic contamination.
Highlighted targeted international partnerships and technical remediation methods, specifically activated carbon adsorption, as viable mechanisms for reducing ecological plastic burdens.
