Increasing plastic pollution, particularly in oceans, calls for a fundamental shift towards future-proof plastics throughout the circular economy. In a landmark move in 2022, the United Nations adopted a historic resolution to craft an international legally binding instrument to tackle plastic pollution. In line with this global initiative, Plastics in the Oceans investigates the problem of plastic pollution in oceans, proposes solutions relating to current and advanced materials and technologies, and offers an optimal sustainable strategy to eliminate plastic pollution by 2040. The title:
- Addresses the entire lifecycle of plastic, from production and design to disposal, and advocates for a comprehensive approach to mitigate plastic pollution.
- Focuses on primary and secondary microplastics, recognizing their significant impact on marine ecosystems.
- Explores various alternative materials, including biobased biodegradable polymers, as viable alternatives to conventional plastics.
- Provides insights into regulatory frameworks pertaining to plastic pollution across major world regions.
- Elucidates the need for reducing plastic production and enhancing recycling efforts in combating plastic pollution.
- Suggests strategies aligned with the principles of the 3Rs-reduce, redesign, recycle-to foster the development of sustainable and future-proof plastics.
This book is aimed at technical readers in environmental engineering, chemical engineering, and polymer chemistry, as well as general readers interested in scientific solutions to the plastics pollution problem.
