Dealing With Microplastics Dr. Asmuwahyu Saptorahardjo PT Intera Lestari Polimer at Balaraja Tangerang Seminar at UNJANI 19 of October 2018A synthetic material made from a wide range of organic polymers such as polyethylene, PVC, nylon, PET, that can be molded into shape while soft and then set into a rigid or slightly elastic form: IMicroplastics are generally eae ee een ee CAAA eAMicroplastic ? Microplastics are tiny plastic particles up to 5 mm in diameter. In the last four decades, concentration on these particles appear to have increased significantly in the surface waters of the ocean. ‘Sour: = Marine Potion Bulltn 68 (2013) hip abe:netauinowsi2013 ‘Cola Mi Ledegue ®, Floman &, Halsband C, Goodhead RM. ot {a 2013) Necopiastc ingeston by zooplankin.
