Plastic pollution is ubiquitous in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. waste exposed to the environment creates problems of significant concern for all life forms. production accumulation natural are occurring at an unprecedented rate due indiscriminate use, inadequate recycling, deposits landfills. In 2019, global plastic was 370 million tons, with only 9% it being recycled, 12% incinerated, remaining left or The leakage wastes into ecosystems rate. management a challenging problem researchers, policymakers, citizens, other stakeholders. Therefore, here, we summarize current understanding concerns plastics (microplastics nanoplastics) on overall goal this review provide background assessment adverse effects ecosystems; interlink sustainable development goals; address policy initiatives under transdisciplinary approaches through cycle assessment, circular economy, sustainability; identify knowledge gaps; recommendations. community involvement socio-economic inputs different countries presented discussed. ban policies public awareness likely major mitigation interventions. need circularity assess potential environmental impacts resources used throughout product’s span emphasized. Innovations needed reduce, reuse, recycle, recover find eco-friendly replacements plastics. Empowering educating communities citizens act collectively minimize use alternative options must be promoted enforced. that addressed utmost priority.

Abstract Global coastlines potentially contain significant amounts of plastic debris, with harmful implications for marine and coastal ecosystems, fisheries tourism. However, the global amount, distribution origin debris on beaches in waters is currently unknown. Here we analyze beaching resuspension scenarios using a Lagrangian particle transport model. Throughout first 5 years after entering ocean, model indicates that at least 77% positively buoyant (PBMPD) released from land-based sources either beached or floating waters, assuming no further removal ocean surface. The highest concentrations PBMPD are found Southeast Asia, caused by high inputs land limited offshore transport, although absolute generally overestimates compared to field measurements. modeled scale only weakly influenced local variations rates due geomorphology. Furthermore, there striking differences regarding debris. In some exclusive economic zones (EEZ), such as Indonesian Archipelago, originates almost entirely within EEZ while other EEZs, particularly remote islands, all arrives sources. Our results highlight important reservoirs between zone open ocean.
