“…Similarly, a review of literature was undertaken to evaluate the existing status of microplastics research in ASEAN nations. The scholarly contributions from ASEAN countries constituted approximately 5 % of the global research papers on microplastics, with Indonesia being the largest contributor, succeeded by Malaysia and Thailand [ 48 ].…”

“…This result indicates that the PVC’s hydrophobic surface property was changed to be more hydrophilic, which could allow contact with more water molecules in the solution environment. In addition, increased hydrophilicity promotes the attachment of microorganisms to the polymer surface, further accelerating the PVC degradation rate ( Gabisa and Gheewala, 2022 ).…”

“…Plastics are one of the most abundant anthropogenic materials; their properties such as light weight, durability, excellent strength‐to‐weight ratio, and high chemical stability along with low relative low price have encouraged wide applications for packaging, building and construction, engineering, automative, medical, and other industries (Meneses et al, 2022). However, the use of nonrenewable crude oil for their production and persistence in the environment at the end of life along with other further degradation to microplastics is a cause of much concern (Gabisa & Gheewala, 2022; Laskar & Kumar, 2019). They have been categorized as one of the major contributors to “novel entities” in the planetary boundaries approach to environmental care (Persson et al, 2022).…”
