2021-5-26 · Plastic pollution and climate change are not separate issues but rather are closely linked in a variety of ways. According to researchers from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change plastic production and disposal resulted in 850 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions in 2019 and may be responsible for up to 2.8 billion tons by 2050.
Plastic pollution can be defined as the accumulation of plastic particles and objects in the environment. The amount of plastic we produce in our nowadays society and also the level of pollution from plastic items is shocking. Plastic pollution has significant adverse effects on humans animals plants as well as on the whole environmental system.
2019-6-10 · Plastic Pollution is the accumulation of synthetic plastic products in the environment to the point where they create problems for wildlife and their habitats as well as for human populations. In 1907 the invention of Bakelite brought about a revolution in the materials by introducing truly synthetic plastic resins into world commerce.

2021-7-2 · Plastic pollution accumulating in an area of the environment is considered "poorly reversible" if natural mineralization processes occurring there are slow and engineered remediation solutions are improbable. Should negative outcomes in these areas arise as a consequence of plastic pollution they will be practically irreversible. Potential impacts from poorly reversible plastic pollution
2020-9-4 · As plastic waste accumulates in the ocean at alarming rates the need for efficient and sustainable remediation solutions is urgent. One solution is the development and mobilization of technologies that either 1) prevent plastics from entering waterways or 2) collect marine and riverine plastic pollution.To date however few reports have focused on these technologies and information
2020-7-28 · Plastic pollution is one of the greatest threats to ocean health worldwide. With skyrocketing plastic production low levels of recycling and poor waste management between 4 and 12 million metric tons of plastic enter the ocean each year—enough to cover every foot of coastline on the planet And that amount is projected to triple in the next 20 years.
