Plastic and microplastic pollution in the marine environment is a global issue and lost or discarded fishing nets represent a part of the marine litter. The lost or abandoned fishing gear, like fishing nets, is very harmful to marine organisms due to microplastics release and ghost fishing. Finding recovery and recycling strategies (mechanical, chemical or thermal) for marine plastic waste is a challenge and an opportunity to contribute to the reduction of plastic waste within the framework of a circular economy.

Abstract

Plastic and microplastic pollution in the marine environment is a global issue and lost or discarded fishing nets represent a part of the marine litter. The lost or abandoned fishing gear, like fishing nets, is very harmful to marine organisms due to microplastics release and ghost fishing. Finding recovery and recycling strategies (mechanical, chemical or thermal) for marine plastic waste is a challenge and an opportunity to contribute to the reduction of plastic waste within the framework of a circular economy.
