09 May 2023 --- Plastic recycling facilities (PRF) could be a significant source of microplastic pollution in public water streams, according to a new study by researchers from the UK, Canada and New Zealand. The study authors say there is a significant lack of understanding of recycling facilities’ pollution potential. The findings point toward an urgent need for improved filtration systems at PRFs and further research to establish the scale of potential threats to human and environmental health.
