Microplastics are emerging pollutants in aquatic and terrestrial environments.

Tire materials are a significant proportion of the (micro)plastics in the environment that until today have been clearly overlooked.

Microplastic (MP) studies in freshwater environments are gaining attention due to the huge quantities of plastic particles reported from lakes and rivers and the potential for negative impacts in t

Plastic pollution is a global problem since 2016 when its production reached 322 million tonnes, excluding fibers.

Lithium ion batteries (LIB) continue to gain market share in response to the increasing demand for electric vehicles, consumer electronics, and energy storage.

This book chapter addresses goals 9, 12 and 15 by looking at how green nanotechnology can facilitate sustainable methods leading to reduced environmental impacts, improved conservation, and the protection of resources and human health.

This book chapter addresses goals 12, 7, 11 and 15 by looking at the environmental and economic impact of the utilization of biomass resources.

High amounts of macro and microplastic have been reported in rivers, lakes and seas. However, links between the observed pollution and their sources remain unclear.

Microplastics (MP) provide a unique and extensive surface for microbial colonization in aquatic ecosystems.

Plastics are an integral but largely inconspicuous part of human daily routines.
