    Moving from symptom management to upstream plastics prevention: The fallacy of plastic cleanup technology
    (Elsevier, 2023-11-17) Bergmann, M.; Arp, H. P. H.; Carney Almroth, B.; Cowger, W.; Eriksen, M.; Dey, T.; Gündoğdu, S.; Helm, R. R.; Krieger, A.; Syberg, K.; Tekman, Mine Banu; Thompson, R. C.; Villarrubia-Gómez, P.; Warrier, A. K.; Farrelly, T.; Natural and Mathematical Sciences; TEKMAN, Mine Banu

To reduce plastic pollution efficiently and economically, policy should prioritize regulating and reducing upstream production rather than downstream pollution cleanup.
