His academic background involves waste management, recycling of solid wastes and sustainability. Dr. Wang is experienced in separation and recycling of waste plastics and microplastic removal from aquatic environment. He has published high-quality papers about microplastics. Dr. Sandya Babel is professor at the School of Biochemical Engineering and Technology, Sirindhorn International Institute of Technology, Thammasat University, Thailand. Her research focuses on development of low-cost technologies for the protection of environment, microplastics pollution and uptake by biota, microbial fuel cells, adsorption, photocatalysis, phytoremediation, and membrane technology. She is serving as an Editor to the Journal of Environmental Protection and Associate Editor of the Journal of the Air & Waste Management Association. She has been listed in the top 2% scientists in the world by Stanford University and Elsevier BV since 2020 for the whole career and single year in field of Environmental Sciences.   Dr. Eric Lichtfouse is professor of environmental sciences and scientific writing at the State Key Laboratory of Multiphase Flow in Power Engineering, International Research Center for Renewable Energy, Xi'an Jiaotong University. He has invented single sample molecular chronology, a molecular-level method allowing to study the dynamics of organic compounds in temporal pools of complex media. He is Chief Editor and founder of the journal Environmental Chemistry Letters, and the book series Sustainable Agriculture Reviews and Environmental Chemistry for a Sustainable World. He is the author of the book Scientific Writing for Impact Factor Journals, which includes an new writing tool, the micro-article, allowing to identify results novelty. He has awards in analytical chemistry, environmental chemistry and scientific editing. In sport, he is XTerra World Vice-Champion in his age category.
