英文摘要	It has been proven that there is an extensive bulk of plastic debris in marine ecosystems. The present study analyzed solid waste generation, its management and final disposal methods in Caspian Sea coastal countries, and the amount of plastic waste entering the Caspian Sea. The results showed that, on average, more than 90% of waste in the Caspian Sea coastal countries is mismanaged. According to our estimates, 425 kilotons (Kt) of plastic waste was generated by Caspian Sea coastal countries in 2016, of which, with high probability, 58–155 Kt find their way to the Caspian Sea. It is estimated that without improved waste management infrastructures, the amount of plastic waste entering the Caspian Sea will increase to 68–182 Kt by 2030, an increase of about 15%. Accordingly, the related cumulative environmental and health problems could be more severe. All countries located in the coastal areas of the Caspian Sea should revise their solid waste and plastic waste management programs to protect that sensitive marine ecosystem. © 2020 Elsevier Ltd
