Plastic Waste Valorization, 1st Edition, details practical strategies for managing the toxic impacts of synthetic plastics on biological systems and human health. Edited by Riti Thapar Kapoor, Helen Treichel, and Jakub Zdarta, the text provides technical frameworks to control environmental contaminants.

The text emphasizes biological mitigation methods aimed at the bioremediation and enzymatic degradation of synthetic polymers. Specific chapters detail microbial enzymes alongside microalgae-bacteria consortia systems to accelerate contaminant breakdown.

This release supports the reference needs of researchers, academicians, scientists, and environmental sustainability professionals. The covered biological models assist organization-level planning by supporting carbon neutrality targets and lowering long-term waste handling costs.
