To measure the effectiveness of public politics regarding the actions of combating plastic pollution, there is a need for monitoring the environment and creating indicators, for example, the temporal abundance of microplastics (MP) in a specific area of interest. An analytical microplastic identification by near-infrared hyperspectral imaging (HSI-NIR) that can assist the development of pollution indicators is presented.
