Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic that are less than 5 millimetres in length. They are produced by the breakdown of larger plastic products, but can also be manufactured for specific purposes such as microbeads in personal care products.

Microplastics are small plastic particles that are less than 5mm in size and have been found to be present in the environment, including in the air we breathe. These particles come from a variety of sources, including the breakdown of larger plastic items, microbeads used in personal care products, and the wear and tear of synthetic clothing fibres.

The issue of climate change has become a pressing concern for many countries around the world, and new and innovative solutions are being proposed to address the issue. One such proposal is the use of moon dust for geoengineering purposes. Geoengineering refers to the large-scale manipulation of the Earth's systems to counteract the effects of climate change. Moon dust, which is abundant on the lunar surface, has been identified as a potential solution.

Biodegradable products, such as plant-based plastics, break down into natural elements over time through decomposition by bacteria and other microorganisms. The length of time it takes for biodegradable products to break down depends on several factors, such as the thickness of the material, and environmental conditions such as. temperature, humidity, access to light, and the presence of other biodegrading organisms.
