Abstract

Today, the world of science and technology is in the path of newer scientific regeneration. Environmental pollution control and water remediation are the avenues of deep scientific understanding and scientific comprehension. Nanotechnology and biotechnology are revolutionizing the vast scientific firmament. Rapid industrial growth and mass urbanization are veritably changing the face of human civilization and human scientific progress. Technology and engineering science have no answers to the evergrowing concerns of groundwater and drinking water heavy metal and arsenic contamination in both developing and developed nations around the world. Here comes the importance of microplastics in diverse areas of human progress and human pursuit. In this chapter, the authors deeply elucidate the field of application of microplastics generated from bioplastics. The authors deeply elucidate the scientific doctrine and recent advancements in the field of nanotechnology. The areas of environmental and water sustainability and their scientific progress are dealt with minute details in this chapter. Climate resilience and urban water governance are the utmost needs of the hour. This chapter targets these scientific and engineering issues of water, air, and soil pollution with profound details along with the field of microplastics generated from bioplastics. Surely and veritably, a newer dawn in the field of plastics engineering and polymer science will evolve if science, innovation, and mankind proceed in the right direction.
