Riousset, P. (2026). Technologische Möglichkeiten zur Reduktion von Kunststoffabfällen in den Meeren. TA-Kompakt Nr. 5, Büro für Technikfolgen-Abschätzung beim Deutschen Bundestag (TAB). doi:10.5445/IR/1000191167
Plastic pollution remains a global challenge in rivers, coastal areas and oceans. The TAB report provides a concise overview of current technologies for reducing the amount of plastic entering waterways and for removing existing waste from the sea.
