  <abstract>"Increasing plastic pollution, particularly in oceans, calls for a fundamental shift towards future-proof plastics. In 2022, the United Nations adopted a historic resolution to craft an International Legally Binding Instrument to tackle plastic pollution. In line with this global initiative, Plastics in the Oceans explores plastic pollution in oceans, proposes solutions, and offers a sustainable strategy to eliminate plastic pollution by 2040. This book is aimed at technical readers in environmental engineering, chemical engineering, and polymer chemistry, as well as general readers interested in scientific solutions to the plastics pollution problem"--</abstract>
