Accounting on silk for reducing microplastic pollution from textile sector: a viewpoint.

Microplastic pollution is the emerging issue in the recent past and has been identified in the remotely located ecosystems. The textile sector is one of the key contributors in the microplastic pollution. Keeping this in view, the present viewpoint has been planned to address the systematic possible reduction of microplastic pollution. It has been observed through the literature that silk is having a promising material to reduce the microplastic problems and its associated environmental risk due to its non-persistent nature.
