Utilizing Phytoplankton

Cultivation in Recycled
Plastics to Enhance Urban
Air Quality and Combat
Pollution
The accumulation of plastic waste
and underutilization of recyclable
plastic hinder efforts to support
phytoplankton, which play a crucial
role in CO₂ absorption and oxygen
production for climate stability.
This project aims to assess the feasibility of
using recycled plastic bottles to cultivate
phytoplankton for air quality improvement by
enhancing carbon sequestration and oxygen
production, focusing on optimizing growth
conditions, measuring CO₂ absorption and O₂
output, and evaluating the sustainability and
scalability of this approach for urban
implementation.
