It is for this reason that the issue of plastic recycling appears more topical than ever. The versatility of plastics has allowed humans to create new products and improve existing ones, allowing both to optimize their costs and, in some cases, to reduce their polluting impact.

The huge volume of plastic waste that infests the seas, oceans and coasts is increasingly sadly visible to our own eyes. The aquatic population and the entire ecosystem suffer enormously from the presence of plastics and Microplastics floating in the water. Microplastics are plastic particles smaller than 5mm (more precisely between 0.1micrometers and 5mm) deriving from a waste composed of plastic which, o...
