Large quantities of microplastics have been found in remote marine protected areas, challenging previous assumptions about their distribution. Marine bioplastics, derived from marine organisms, offer a promising solution to plastic pollution. While challenges remain, policies and consumer awareness are vital in driving the widespread adoption of marine bioplastics and creating a more sustainable and circular economy.
