Microplastic Recycling Industry: Rising Tide of Plastic Waste A Looming Global Environmental Crisis
Global Distribution and Impacts

Microplastic Recycling have achieved a near-ubiquitous distribution globally and have been documented in air, soil, freshwater and marine ecosystems worldwide. Their small size allows them to be easily ingested by wildlife such as plankton, fish and birds. Plastic additives also leach out of ingested microplastics, poisoning animals and entering the food chain. Key impacts of microplastics include:

Ingestion by wildlife: Studies show 93% of seabird species have ingested plastics. This causes blockages, reduces energy intake and transfer of chemicals.
