Bioplastics for a circular economy
Bioplastics—typically plastics manufactured from bio-based polymers—stand to contribute to
more sustainable commercial plastic life cycles as part of a circular economy, in which virgin …

The land-to-ocean loops of the global carbon cycle
Carbon storage by the ocean and by the land is usually quantified separately, and does not
fully take into account the land-to-ocean transport of carbon through inland waters …

Changing ocean, marine ecosystems, and dependent communities
The ocean is a key component of the Earth system (Chapter 1) as it provides essential life
supporting services (Inniss et al. 2017). For example, it stores heat trapped in the …
