Plastic pollution is overflowing in rivers. A limited understanding of the physics of plastic
transport in rivers hinders monitoring, the prediction of plastic fate and restricts the …

Current research on riverine macrolitter does not yet provide a theoretic framework on the
dynamics behind its accumulation and distribution along riverbanks. In an attempt to better …

Rivers are one of the main conduits that deliver plastic from land into the sea, and also act
as reservoirs for plastic retention. Yet, our understanding of the extent of river exposure to …

Rivers act as an important transportation pathway for land-based plastic litter to the ocean.
Recently, rivers have also been identified as potential sinks and reservoirs for plastics …

Understanding litter dynamics on riversides is challenging due to the need for extensive
data. A seven-year citizen science study with schoolchildren showed no major changes in …

Mismanaged plastic waste threatens the sustainable development goals of the United
Nations in social, economic, and ecological dimensions. In the pollution process, fluvial …

Rivers represent one of the main conduits for the delivery of plastics to the sea, while also
functioning as reservoirs for plastic retention. In tropical regions, rivers are exposed to both …

This report presents key results from the project 'Capacity building on waste management in
the Bago Region'. It synthesizes primary and secondary data on various aspects of waste …

Environmental plastic pollution is a global, wide-spread concern. It has negative effects on
ecosystems and societies alike. Especially rivers are of crucial concern. In rivers, plastic …
