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.

Abstract Insects damaging and penetrating plastic packaged materials has been reported since the 1950s. Radical innovation breakthroughs of biodegradation have initiated discovery plastics by Tenebrio molitor larvae in 2015 followed Galleria mellonella 2017. Here we review updated studies on insect-mediated plastics. Plastic insect larvae, mainly some species darkling beetles (Tenebrionidae) pyralid moths (Pyralidae) is currently a highly active potentially transformative area research. Over past eight years, publications increased explosively, including discoveries ability different to biodegrade plastics, performance, contribution host microbiomes, impacts polymer types their physic-chemical properties, responsible enzymes secreted gut microbes.

The presence of microplastics in cosmetics and personal care products (C&PCPs) has been increasingly the public eye since early 2010s. Despite increasing research into potential environmental health effects microplastics, most to date on C&PCPs investigated "rinse-off" products, while impacts "leave-on" have largely neglected, despite these being purchased greater volumes often having two or more microplastic ingredients their formulations(CosmeticsEurope, 2018b).
