Plastic waste, especially the hazardous type, is a major global environmental problem with its production drastically increased by more than twenty-folds between 1964 and 2015, with an annual output of 322 million metric tons, which is expected to double by 2035 and quadruple by 2050 if no action is taken. The mismanaged plastic waste mostly originating from land, is not only contaminating the land but released to marine environment, polluting it and threatening biodiversity while also negatively impacting the blue economy.
