“…Proses -proses fisik seperti pemanasan matahari dan dinamika air dapat mempercepat proses degradasi plastik dari yang berukuran besar sehingga terfragmentasi menjadi berukuran kecil yang disebut sebagai mikroplastik (Kovač Viršek et al, 2016). Berbagai dampak negatif dari sampah di pesisir telah dilaporkan, seperti dampak mikroplastik terhadap penghambatan aktivitas konsumsi pada organisme laut yang mengkibatkan dapat menurunnya energi dari organisme tersebut (Mrowiec, 2017), sampah plastik yang merugikan usaha penangkapan ikan (Waileruny et al, 2019), dan juga dampak buruknya terhadap pariwisata (Jang et al, 2014;Krelling et al, 2017).…”

Sampah pesisir merupakan masalah yang semakin penting untuk dikaji mengingat dampak negatifnya bagi lingkungan daratan dan lautan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengkaji sebaran sampah pantai di Pulau Timor sebagai salah satu dasar pengambilan kebijakan dalam pengelolaan dan mengatasi cemaran sampah. Penelitian dilakukan pada Bulan Agustus 2020 di enam pantai wisata yang dikelola oleh pemerintah, yaitu satu di Kota Kupang dan lima kabupaten (Malaka, Timor Tengah Selatan, Kupang, Timor Tengah Utara, dan Belu). Pada setiap lokasi dibuat transek sepanjang 100 meter sejajar garis pantai dengan lebar transek sepanjang 10 m tegak lurus garis pantai yang diukur dari bagian belakang pantai. Seluruh sampah dalam transek diambil, lalu dibersihkan dari pasir, kemudian dimasukkan ke dalam kantong plastik yang telah diberi label. Sampah yang basah dijemur sampai kering sebelum dihitung. Sampah kemudian dipilah, lalu dihitung jumlah, panjang, dan beratnya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan seluruh pantai telah terpapar oleh sampah yang tidak terkelola. Sampah plastik mendominasi seluruh lokasi dengan komposisi jumlah antara 63 -95% (rerata 80 ± 12%) dan panjang antara 60 -93% (rerata 75 ± 13%). Komposisi berat sampah plastik antara 20 -72% (rerata 45 ± 21%), dan berat sampah plastik tidak mendominasi pada Pantai Motadikin. Dinamika arus laut pada muson timur diduga berperan dalam menyebabkan lebih rendahnya kuantifikasi sampah pada Pantai Motadikin (Kabupaten Malaka) dan Pantai Oetune (Kabupaten Timor Tengah Selatan) dibandingkan keempat pantai lainnya yang terletak di utara Pulau Timor. Sumber sampah pada pantai berasal dari kegiatan rekreasi, aktivitas nelayan dan berlabuh, serta sampah antropogenik yang terbawa dari laut.

“…They are also very cheap in the market and easy to find in any grocery store. It was mentioned in the literature that, since the 1950s, the production of plastic had increased from 1.5 million tons to more than 300 million tons in 2015, which is almost 200 times more [ 2 ]. The rapid growth of plastic usage is due to the various types of plastic products currently found in the market, ranging from household, personal goods, and packaging to the manufacturing of construction materials.…”

Physical Properties of Thermoplastic Starch Derived from Natural Resources and Its Blends: A Review

et al. 2021

Thermoplastic starch composites have attracted significant attention due to the rise of environmental pollutions induced by the use of synthetic petroleum-based polymer materials. The degradation of traditional plastics requires an unusually long time, which may lead to high cost and secondary pollution. To solve these difficulties, more petroleum-based plastics should be substituted with sustainable bio-based plastics. Renewable and natural materials that are abundant in nature are potential candidates for a wide range of polymers, which can be used to replace their synthetic counterparts. This paper focuses on some aspects of biopolymers and their classes, providing a description of starch as a main component of biopolymers, composites, and potential applications of thermoplastics starch-based in packaging application. Currently, biopolymer composites blended with other components have exhibited several enhanced qualities. The same behavior is also observed when natural fibre is incorporated with biopolymers. However, it should be noted that the degree of compatibility between starch and other biopolymers extensively varies depending on the specific biopolymer. Although their efficacy is yet to reach the level of their fossil fuel counterparts, biopolymers have made a distinguishing mark, which will continue to inspire the creation of novel substances for many years to come.

“…These events imply bad practice of waste management and inadequate developed infrastructure within the affected sites, leading to a worldwide environmental issue later [15] . Thus, microplastics pollutions in marine water have been acknowledged as a worldwide environmental threats as it poses ecotoxicological and ecological risk to marine organisms and human [16]. Thus, the aim of this review is to discuss microplastics, highlighting the potential routes of them entering the marine environment and their toxic effects in marine water.…”

The ubiquitous plastic contaminant is impossible to avoid in today's world and occurs in the marine environment as microplastic particles, which are particles larger than 5 millimeters. It has been discovered that there is pollution in the ocean caused by plastics in areas that were previously thought to be pristine. These areas include the oceans of the Arctic and Antarctic. Many marine ecosystems are negatively impacted by plastic pollution caused by a variety of human activities, which can occur via a variety of pathways. In light of this, the purpose of this review is to talk about marine microplastics while putting an emphasis on the possible occurrence routes taken into marine ecosystems with subsequent sedimentation events. Recent research has pointed to the possibility of using plastic bioremediation as a method for its removal; consequently, this mini review covers the potential exploitation of marine microorganisms and animals has been analyzed in light of the problem of marine plastic pollution.
