End-of-life vehicle (ELV) management is increasingly vital as the expanding automotive industry faces rising global demand, leading to a growth in ELVs. Malaysia significant issue with abandoned vehicles (AVs) due lack of legislation regulating ELV waste management. Countries like Japan and those EU have well-established policies. recycling systems are growing research area, particularly Korea, Taiwan, China. This paper extends existing literature on governance networks by applying an interpretative framework analyze role local governments managing AVs, ELVs, Malaysia. study delves deeper into network theory exploring authorities' practical challenges, such insufficient legal frameworks, unclear policies, low public awareness, rather than focusing solely broad stakeholder coordination. By addressing gap between theoretical models real-world experiences governments, this offers more nuanced context-specific approach The findings contribute developing comprehensive that enhances policy coordination, improves collaboration, actionable solutions challenges disposal advances provides insights for improving countries.

Twenty years after the first publication that used term microplastic, we review current understanding, refine definitions, and consider future prospects. Microplastics arise from multiple sources, including tires, textiles, cosmetics, paint, fragmentation of larger items. They are widely distributed throughout natural environment, with evidence harm at levels biological organization. pervasive in food drink have been detected human body, emerging negative effects. Environmental contamination could double by 2040, wide-scale has predicted. Public concern is increasing, diverse measures to address microplastic pollution being considered international negotiations. Clear on efficacy potential solutions now needed issue minimize risks unintended consequences.

Tyre wear particles are a significant source of primary microplastics in the natural environment with potential to accumulate aquatic sediments, yet our understanding ecological impact these is limited. Using mesocosms estuarine sediment containing model macrofauna community (Scrobicularia plana and Hediste diversicolor), meiofauna, microphytobenthos, we investigated exposure sedimentary tyre (0.2, 1, 5% kg sediment(dw)−1) upon meiofauna structure, production, secondary nutrient fluxes. Under conditions (13 °C) timescale (31 days) investigated, did not lead any differences nutrients for productivity, limited on meiofaunal productivity. An increase Tanaidacea was observed 1% particle treatments, putatively due reduced macrofaunal predation. Previous studies have highlighted ecotoxicity particles. The impacts may be experimental being too large ingest or experiment short witness changes at scale. Impacts from leachates were likely dilution partial recirculation system. Leachate will occur naturally marine systems should consideration design future studies.

Rubber materials enter aquatic environments by stormwater runoff via sources such as playground mulch, athletic fields, and roadway surfaces. Tire rubbers are considered plastics they comprise a substantial portion of synthetic polymers. particles complex variable depending on the type, source, age rubber. In this study, zebrafish embryos daphnids were exposed to nano-scale or micro-scale particles, leachate from recycled rubber (RR), crumb (CR), cryo-milled tire tread (CMTT). Zebrafish evaluated for lethal sub-lethal effects over 120 h exposure, while tested 48 period. Nano-scale RR, CR, CMTT elicited hatch delay in with similar EC50 values (1.3 × 109–1.4 109 particles/mL). Micro-scale did not elicit any significant developing zebrafish. all significantly increased compared leachate, suggesting an adverse nanoparticle effect unexplained chemical leaching alone, indicating particle-specific effects. Daphnia RR micro- exposures resulted mortality, LC50 9.8 105 microparticles/mL 5.0 108 nanoparticles/mL, respectively. Leachate mortality. Sublethal nano-TP decreased microalgae ingestion after 24 h. The tire-derived observed pose risk organism survival at environmentally relevant concentrations.

The environmental impact of tire wear emissions has become increasingly apparent, and efforts to reduce their on the environment are rise. To minimise generation wear, it is essential consider influencing factors. However, as cannot be entirely prevented, measures immissions also necessary. This paper summarises possible derived from literature, stakeholder workshops, authors’ own conclusions, taking into account different perspectives: tire, vehicle, road, sustainable mobility treatment. presentation entry paths hotspots can used prioritise reduction measures. Measures should implemented at a political level, technical solutions applied, awareness raised among general public. It evident that reducing complex task requires transdisciplinary approach.

Tire wear particles (TWPs) released during vehicle driving can enter water bodies, leading to leaching of tire additives (TAs) in aquatic environments. However, the transformation behavior and related ecological impacts TAs their products (TPs) remain unclear. In this study, laboratory-based simulation experiments field investigations were conducted explore mechanisms risks TAs. After being placed river for 24 h, about 7–95% 12 investigated TWPs leached. Forty-eight TPs from eight tentatively identified along with different pathways via suspect screening by high-resolution mass spectrometry. Semiquantitative results indicated that derived N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N′-phenyl-p-phenylene-diamine (6PPD) predominant leachates, while aryl hydrolysis quinone main pathways.
