Abstract:Global plastic production and consumption have increased due to its outstanding properties. Their widespread use is cause for concern, as most plastics deteriorate but never fully decompose, posing a risk to ecosystems. A large source of ocean plastic waste is "ghost gear", a result of intentional or accidental abandonment of fishing gear at sea. To reduce their impact, mechanical recycling is considered a viable option as it is an efficient recycling method in terms of time, cost-effectiveness, and environmen… Show more
