随着全球塑料危机的加剧，人们发明并实施了许多技术来从环境中回收塑料污染。尽管值得称赞，但不受管制的清理技术可能效率低下，并对生态系统产生意想不到的负面影响，例如误捕或清除对生态系统功能重要的有机物质。尽管存在这些问题，但塑料清理技术可以在减少环境垃圾方面发挥重要作用。随着联合国环境大会朝着到2024年解决塑料污染问题的具有法律约束力的国际条约迈进，塑料清洁技术的实施应受到监管，以确保其净效益并避免意外损害。条例可要求在部署前逐案进行环境影响评估和生命周期分析，以确定其有效性和影响，并确保无害环境管理。在作业期间，应记录捕获效率和非废弃物项目的副渔获物，以及回收废弃物的废物管理。建议为监测、研究和推广收集数据，以减轻塑料污染，作为实施清洁技术的附加值。由于清洁技术可能会产生意想不到的负面影响，我们建议如何根据塑料条约对此类技术进行监管，以确保其净效益。
As the global plastics crisis grows, numerous technologies have been invented and implemented to recover plastic pollution from the environment. Although laudable, unregulated clean-up technologies may be inefficient and have unintended negative consequences on ecosystems, for example, through bycatch or removal of organic matter important for ecosystem functions. Despite these concerns, plastic clean-up technologies can play an important role in reducing litter in the environment. As the United Nations Environment Assembly is moving toward an international, legally binding treaty to address plastic pollution by 2024, the implementation of plastic clean-up technologies should be regulated to secure their net benefits and avoid unintended damages. Regulation can require environmental impact assessments and life cycle analysis to be conducted predeployment on a case-by-case basis to determine their effectiveness and impact and secure environmentally sound management. During operations catch-efficiency and bycatch of nonlitter items, as well as waste management of recovered litter, should be documented. Data collection for monitoring, research, and outreach to mitigate plastic pollution is recommended as added value of implementation of clean-up technologies. As clean-up technologies might have unintended negative consequences, we suggest how such technologies can be regulated under the plastics treaty to secure their net benefit.
