This literature review addresses the presence of plastic in domestic wastewater, an increasingly important facet widespread use and its detrimental effects on environment, with a focus microplastics (MPs) sewage sludge their implications for circular economy. Extensive research has been conducted occurrence MPs wastewater treatment plants. Sewage is byproduct such plants that are widely used agricultural other sectors but may contain emerging contaminants, including MPs, can pose significant risk to environment. The highlights high concentrations underscores need appropriate disposal methods prevent soil contamination. also detrimentally interact as heavy metals organophosphate esters. While extraction technologies exist remove from implementation subject technical economic considerations. Future should optimization efficacy these ensure safe management. Given levels contaminants found sludge, it crucial implement enable sustainable disposal. By acknowledging challenges developing solutions, we mitigate environmental impacts promote waste management practices.
