Microplastics, tiny plastic particles less than 5mm in size, have become ubiquitous in our environment, posing a significant threat to ecosystems and human health. Through rigorous experimentation, we aim to optimize biodegradation efficiency and develop sustainable strategies for microplastics remediation.
