In this perspective paper, we discuss the negative impacts of plastics and associated chemicals on triple planetary crisis environmental pollution, climate change biodiversity loss from a multidisciplinary perspective. Plastics are part pollution crisis, threatening ecosystems human health. They also impact accelerate loss; in this, they aggravate crisis. We analyze scientific state-of-the-art to identify critical knowledge gaps regarding life cycle, release, fate, exposure, hazard governance chemicals, as well links loss. Based outcome, derive key research needs for comprehensive assessment amongst others, address largely missing regulation plastic additives in-use plastics. offer holistic bridging disciplinary expertise natural social sciences achieve effective risk management that protect Earth, its health
