Worum geht es in dieser Arbeit?
Abstract This study examines how the global plastic waste trade amplifies microplastic pollution through informal recycling, dumping, and burning in importing regions with limited waste management capacity. Synthesising evidence across aquatic, terrestrial, atmospheric, and human exposure pathways, we show that transboundary plastic waste redistribution contributes to environmental inequality and increased pollution risks. We further propose a science–policy framework linking waste trade governance, monitoring, and microplastic mitigation strategies.
