Sources, Pathways And Environmental Fate Of Microplastics
The ubiquity of plastic in virtually all industrial and consumer products has resulted in a continuous increase in the annual production of plastics. European and international policies support the transition towards a more sustainable economy, with the European Union (EU) Circular Economy Action Plan in place to reduce carbon budgets and support countries to become carbon neutral.

Microplastics Expert Workshop Report: Trash Free Waters Dialogue Meeting
Plastics pollution has raised concern worldwide, with a recent study estimating that 8 million metric tons of plastics was released into the world’s oceans in 2010 (Jambeck et al. 2015). Freshwater and terrestrial systems are also affected by plastics pollution, and research over the past few decades has shown that plastic items such as derelict fishing gear and plastic grocery bags can have detrimental effects on wildlife via entanglement and ingestion (reviewed by Browne et al. 2015; Provencher et al. 2017).
