Global mass of buoyant marine plastics dominated by large long-lived debris
Nature Geoscience, 2023 The fate of plastics that enter the ocean is a longstanding puzzle. Recent estimates of the oceanic input of plastic are one to two orders of magnitude larger than the amount measured floating at the surface.

Degradation Rates of Plastics in the Environment
, 2020 Plastic waste is currently generated at a rate approaching 400 Mt year–1. The amount of plastics accumulating in the environment is growing rapidly, yet our understanding of its persistence is very...

Plastics can be used more sustainably in agriculture
Communications Earth & Environment, 2023 Plastics have become an integral component in agricultural production as mulch films, nets, storage bins and in many other applications, but their widespread use has led to the accumulation of large quantities in soils.

Production, use, and fate of all plastics ever made
Science Advances, 2017 We present the first ever global account of the production, use, and end-of-life fate of all plastics ever made by humankind. Plastics have outgrown most man-made materials and have long been under environmental scrutiny.

A review on gasification and pyrolysis of waste plastics
Frontiers in Chemistry, 2023 Gasification and pyrolysis are thermal processes for converting carbonaceous substances into tar, ash, coke, char, and gas. Pyrolysis produces products such as char, tar, and gas, while gasification transforms carbon-containing products (e.g., the ...
