Microplastics (MPs) composed of different polymers with various shapes, within a vast granulometric distribution (1 μm - 5 mm) and wide variety physicochemical surface bulk characteristics spiral around the globe, atmospheric, oceanic, cryospheric, terrestrial residence times, while interacting other pollutants biota. The challenges microplastic pollution are related to complex relationships between generation mechanisms (physical, chemical, biological), their properties, interactions microorganisms, changes in properties aging, small sizes that facilitate diffusion transportation air, water, land, biota, thereby promoting ubiquity. Early career researchers (ERCs) constitute an essential part scientific community committed overcoming new ideas innovative perspectives for development remediation technologies. However, because enormous amount information available, it may be difficult ERCs determine complexity this environmental issue. This mini-review aims provide quick updated overview insights help them acquire background needed develop highly physical, biological technologies, as well valorization proposals education awareness campaigns. Moreover, recommendations holistic strategies presented here can propose technologies considering environmental, social, practical dimensions fulfilling current government policies manage plastic waste.
