Progress to reduce plastic pollution has been painfully slow and the consequent damage to the natural environment and to human health is likely to increase further. This has been because the views and ways of working of four distinct stakeholder comm

The ubiquity of microplastics (MPs) in the various environment is of increasing concern. Although micro Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (μ-FTIR) represents an ideal method for the detection of MPs, this technique lacks a standardized mode to
