CALL FOR THE BOOK CHAPTERS

Microplastics are emerging as a global pollutant, posing significant threats to ecosystems and organisms. Mitigation methods face environmental challenges, highlighting the need for sustainable biotechnological solutions. This book will explore cutting-edge biotechnology applications, including microbial degradation, enzyme engineering, bioplastics, and algae-based systems, to tackle microplastic pollution. By bridging research and practice, it will provide actionable insights for researchers, policymakers, and industry leaders. Through innovative strategies, it aims to advance scalable, eco-friendly solutions to restore environmental balance. This book will be essential for environmental engineers, researchers and policy maker focussed on sustainable biotechnology method to mitigation of microplastics pollutant and develop the alternative strategy to cease these issues.
