Assessing the performance of marine plastics cleanup technologies in Europe and North America

Roy Brouwer et al.

Summary: This study fills an important gap in policymakers' understanding of the effectiveness and implementation costs of marine plastic cleanup technologies. It systematically examines the cost-effectiveness of different cleanup technologies and finds that mobile skimmers and dredgers are the most cost-effective. It also highlights the importance of considering additional operational criteria, such as energy use and economies of scale, when ranking these technologies.

The challenge of reducing macroplastic pollution: Testing the effectiveness of a river boom under real environmental conditions

Martin C. M. Blettler et al.

Summary: Improving collection technologies is crucial for developing effective and economically feasible solutions for plastic removal from rivers. However, the effectiveness of floating booms, which are being deployed worldwide, is not rigorously tested. This study tested the effectiveness of a boom under realistic conditions and found that both C-shape and Slash-shape configurations had lower than expected retention rates. The effectiveness varied greatly depending on the characteristics of the plastic articles, indicating the need for improved boom designs and testing under different environmental conditions before market release.

A review of the cost and effectiveness of solutions to address plastic pollution

Josiane Nikiema et al.

Summary: Plastic usage is increasing year by year, with a low recycling rate, resulting in significant environmental and economic impacts. This review summarizes key solutions to address plastic and microplastic contamination from source to sea, including controlling plastics in solid wastes, in water streams, and microplastics, as well as implementing general policy measures. The guidance provided can help policymakers and practitioners address the plastic and microplastic management problem in a sustainable and cost-efficient way.

Citizen science: A way forward in tackling the plastic pollution crisis during and beyond the COVID-19 pandemic

Justine Ammendolia et al.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a surge in production and consumption of single-use plastics and personal protective equipment, resulting in global reports of improper disposal and pollution. Travel restrictions during the pandemic have halted plastic pollution research programs, calling for increased citizen science participation to collect data and develop mitigation strategies.

Ecosystem-Service Scaling Techniques to Evaluate the Benefits of Marine Debris Removal

Adam Domanski et al.

Summary: This article proposes an ecological service equivalency analysis framework for evaluating and comparing the ecological impacts of marine debris removal projects with other environmental restoration projects. By quantifying the ecological service benefits of marine debris removal and using present value ecological benefits for project selection, this framework can help direct limited funds to projects that produce the greatest gains in ecological services.

Integrating Bayesian Belief Networks in a toolbox for decision support on plastic clean-up technologies in rivers and estuaries

Giulia Leone et al.

Summary: Current mitigation strategies for marine plastic pollution focus on preventing floating debris from entering coastal ecosystems. However, there is limited research on the potential impact of these strategies on riverine and estuarine organisms and ecosystems. In this study, we identify four clusters of parameters that can determine the unintentional catching of biota and organic debris in clean-up systems and suggest the use of Bayesian Belief Networks as a tool for quantifying and assessing the influence of each cluster on bycatch.

Summary: A systematic review of research on marine macrolitter densities from 2015 to 2020 revealed knowledge gaps in the field. Data scarcity exists in regions mismanaging plastic waste, particularly in the high and deep seas. Lack of standardization hinders assessment and comparison of litter densities. The review highlights the need for survey design development and consideration of ecological research techniques.

Small circles: The role of physical distance in plastics recycling

Vilma Havas et al.

Summary: This article emphasizes the importance of circular economy strategies in addressing waste management challenges, and proposes the concept of "Small Circles" and a new circularity indicator to account for the negative environmental impacts of waste trade. The application of the Small Circles approach is illustrated through case examples of plastic waste management.

Mapping marine debris risk using expert elicitation, empirical data, and spatial modelling

Jordan Gacutan et al.

Summary: Anthropogenic debris has widespread impacts on aquatic ecosystems, causing entanglement, ingestion, and bioaccumulation. The consequences of debris on individual organisms are known, but their impacts at management scales are poorly understood. This study provides a methodology to estimate specific debris items' risks to different organisms within a management area. Risk is determined by the consequence of interaction and the likelihood of exposure. The study identifies high-risk debris items and spatially assesses their variability, allowing for informed management decisions.
