Description
Plastic Waste Valorization: Strategies to Tackle Plastic Waste Pollution for Sustainable Environment presents advanced approaches for mitigating the hazardous effects of plastics on ecosystems and human health, offering a detailed examination of microplastics and their impacts. It highlights new, sustainable technologies for the bioremediation and biodegradation of plastic contaminants. This book explores methods for managing plastic contaminants and transforming plastic waste into valuable products. By advancing knowledge and practices in the field, this book significantly contributes to ongoing research and efforts toward achieving carbon neutrality and environmental protection.
