英文摘要	Marine plastic is a major worldwide challenge, for which many solutions are being proposed. However, most of the solutions focus on the prevention and collection of the plastic, with little emphasis on the development of waste treatment options. This review seeks to propose areas where further studies could assist to close gaps in knowledge. Some identified gaps include a poor understanding of the quantities and composition of marine plastics, a lack of information about existing marine plastic treatment technologies, and the environmental impact of the available options. To better understand the capabilities of the current South African plastics recycling industry, data from the South African Waste Information Centre (SAWIC) are reported and discussed. While there is a lack of technology development for the treatment of marine plastic globally, the intention of this review is to drive research in this area by creating awareness and encouraging implementation of possible treatment technologies. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd
