A Review of the Treatment Options for Marine Plastic Waste in South Africa
Marine Pollution Bulletin, 2020Marine plastic is a major worldwide challenge, for which many solutions are being proposed. However, most of the solutions focus on the prevention and collection of the plastic, with little emphasis on the development of waste treatment options. This review seeks to propose areas where further studies could assist to close gaps in knowledge.

Recycling of Marine Plastic Waste
Currently recycling of collected marine plastic debris (MPD) is a huge challenge because of three major reasons. First, large-scale collection logistics are to date not sufficiently developed because marine plastics are dispersed over a large area. Second, MPD is very diverse and strongly associated with manifold other unwanted natural and human-made ...Moubarak, Maria +5 more

Microbial degradation of plastic waste in marine environment [PDF]
, 2017 A plastic waste in the marine ecosystem has become one of the major problems for the modern environmentalist. It is estimated that about 100, 000 marine mammals are killed due to plastic debris around the world. It occurs because the floating plastic debris is often mistaken as food, causing blockage in the digestive system of the animals.

Biodegradation of Plastic Waste Using Marine Micro-Organisms
2020Synthetic polymers are hazardous to the environment mainly in the marine environment as a lot of plastic wastes end up in the saline waters especially in the estuaries. Synthetic polymers obtained from plastic bottle wastes and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) are known to be non-biodegradable. In order to obtain biodegradability, polymers are reinforced
