If it is necessary to define microplastics, they are small plastic particles less than 5 mm in diameter with a diameter of less than 1 mm. Microplastics are small-sized microbeads that are also used as additives to cosmetic products.

Plastics with a diameter of less than 1 mm are called nanoplastics.

To give an example of micro plastics named according to their size diameters, they are named as in the table below.
