Unsustainable plastic production, use and mismanagement has resulted in increased global pollution subsequent degradation into micro(nano)plastics the environment threatening sustainability. Micro(nano)plastic is pervasive caused widespread ecological impacts globally, including greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to climate change. Although downstream strategies curb exist, they are ineffective face of current production waste generation which still outpacing existing regulations. Thus, international community recognized a more holistic approach required reduce micro(nano)plastic pollution. This critical review highlights studies showing that unsustainable increasing all environmental compartments, yet few have documented successful prevention or removal techniques. offers constructive criticism some help advance ambitious reduction targets for transition towards sustainable plastics future.

People discover various materials from time to that break the boundaries of traditional materials. Plastic is a revolutionized material, and referred as "a material with 1,000 uses". This review summarized up-to-date research on plastic its waste pollution. has domain throughout human life versatile properties such lightweight, high durability, flexibility, low production cost. article describes applications, benefits, production, consumption, classifications plastics. commercialization began Second World War grew all over world within less than century. The global annual more 359 million tons. Despite plastics cause severe environmental public health issues. Accordingly, this study addresses major issues environment health. Plastics can degrade into micro nano sizes, those fine particles are spreadable in air, water, soil. Therefore, both terrestrial aquatic animals go through negative impacts ingestion, entangling, ulcers, reproduction, oxidative stress. Microplastics also due cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney disease, birth defects, cancer, etc. closing contains developed end-of-life options (e.g., recycling reprocessing, incineration energy recovery, modification reuse, value addition, landfilling) biodegradable non-biodegradable wastes. Several international, regional/national level legislations policies/concepts trade, 3R policy, circular economy) available manage generation. management discussed offering practical insights real-world scenarios. Solutions challenges effective guide create sustainable environmentally responsible approach. Finally, highlights importance judicious decisions involvement stakeholders overcome crisis.

Microplastic disposal into riverine ecosystems is an emergent ecological hazard that mainly originated from land-based sources. This paper presents a comprehensive review on physical processes involved in microplastics transport ecosystems. governed by characteristics (e.g., plastic particle density, shape, and size) hydrodynamics laminar turbulent flow conditions). High-density are likely to prevail near riverbeds, whereas low-density particles float over river surfaces. occurs either due gravity-driven (vertical transport) or settling (horizontal Microplastics subjected various natural phenomena such as suspension, deposition, detachment, resuspension, translocation during processes. Limited information available rising velocities for polymeric particles. Therefore, this highlights how appropriately empirical models explain vertical horizontal distribution of microplastic interact, thus feedback loops within the environment govern their fate, particularly these under increasing biodiversity loss climate change threat. provides outlines fate ecosystems, which will help scientists, policymakers, stakeholders better monitoring mitigating pollution.

Human society has become increasingly reliant on plastic because it allows for convenient and sanitary living. However, recycling rates are currently low, which means that the majority of waste ends up in landfills or ocean. Increasing upcycling is a critical strategy addressing issues caused by pollution, but there several technical limitations to overcome. This article reviews advancements polymer technology aim improve efficiency waste. In food packaging, natural polymers with excellent gas barrier properties self-cleaning abilities have been introduced as environmentally friendly alternatives existing materials reduce food-derived contamination. Upcycling valorization approaches emerged transform into high-value-added products. Recent development recyclable high-performance plastics include design super engineering thermoplastics chemical bonds thermosets make them biodegradable. Further research needed develop more cost-effective scalable technologies address pollution problem through sustainable upcycling.

The exhaustion of available natural resources and rising concerns about the environment have prompted a growing desire to discover innovative ways produce environmentally friendly materials. In an effort alleviate environmental issues connected disposal agricultural waste, many studies engaged on research pertaining waste management. Every year, there are enormous amounts agro based created, which is major issue from economic standpoint. These wastes can be utilized as secondary raw materials create value-added products in accordance with circular economy's guiding principles. exploitation has become critical for development sustainable biopolymer-based composites lightweight applications. To this extent, review presents overview utilization biopolymers building blocks coupled reinforcements fabrication bio Common derived discussed. This also highlights composite methodologies potential applications including challenges opportunities biomass. It was concluded that biomass offers promising route towards more future.
