“…2,3 For example, microplastics either from industrial production or decomposition of large plastics distribute ubiquitously in water, land, air and oceans. [3][4][5] These small plastics can be easily ingested by various organisms which eventually results in unexpected accumulative and adverse effects on the food chain. [3][4][5] Therefore, removing microplastics from the natural environment is highly desirable.…”

“…PEST contains the ester functional group and is a family of polymers that covers many plastics including PET. This last one has a compact structure, is highly recalcitrant and is developed for using as textile fibre and other applications, like food containers (Gewert et al, 2015;Hu et al, 2022a;Taniguchi et al, 2019). Natural fibres with micro-scale size are also denominated MFs but they are not MPs, which can lead to confusion.…”
