Since their invention in the early 1900s, synthetic polymers have experienced significant growth due to their lightweight nature, affordability, resistance to corrosion, durability, and chemical stability against certain reactions (Sharma et al. 2017). As a result, plastic polymers have replaced various traditional materials like wood, ceramic, glass, and metal. A 2018 report indicated that global plastic production reached 348 million tons (Plastics Europe 2018), with projections suggesting it could reach 33 billion tons by 2050 (Rochman et al. 2013). Due to inadequate waste management, a substantial amount of plastic ends up in terrestrial and aquatic environments, where it persists for long periods. Each year, over eight million tons of plastic debris pollutes both standing and flowing water systems (Choudhury et al. 2022; Liu et al. 2022).

摘要

Since their invention in the early 1900s, synthetic polymers have experienced significant growth due to their lightweight nature, affordability, resistance to corrosion, durability, and chemical stability against certain reactions (Sharma et al. 2017). As a result, plastic polymers have replaced various traditional materials like wood, ceramic, glass, and metal. A 2018 report indicated that global plastic production reached 348 million tons (Plastics Europe 2018), with projections suggesting it could reach 33 billion tons by 2050 (Rochman et al. 2013). Due to inadequate waste management, a substantial amount of plastic ends up in terrestrial and aquatic environments, where it persists for long periods. Each year, over eight million tons of plastic debris pollutes both standing and flowing water systems (Choudhury et al. 2022; Liu et al. 2022).
