摘要	As environmental awareness increases, the use of recyclable plastics has risen. However, it is currently unclear whether recycled microplastics (MPs) pose a lesser or greater environmental risk than pristine MPs. Cadmium (Cd), known for its toxicity to most organisms, can bind with MPs and accumulate in sediments. Few studies have explored the environmental risks posed by the coexistence of recycled MPs and pristine MPs with Cd to rooted macrophytes. We investigated the effects of recycled PVC MPs (R-PVC-MPs) and pristine PVC MPs (PVC-MPs) on Vallisneria natans in the presence and absence of Cd. Results showed that at moderate and high Cd levels, R-PVCMPs reduced plant Cd enrichment. Despite this, the fresh weight of V. natans exposed to R-PVC-MPs was significantly lower than those exposed to PVC-MPs. Furthermore, R-PVC-MPs had more negative impacts on the physiological traits of V. natans than PVC-MPs, as chlorophyll was significantly reduced across all Cd levels. At high Cd levels, both R-PVC-MPs and PVC-MPs caused significantly high oxidative stress, with no significant differences observed. The PCoA plot showed that different MPs cause noticeable variations within the same Cd concentration. The trait network diagrams illustrated strong interactions among traits, with R-PVC-MPs showing the highest complexity. Lower average degree and decreased edge density indicate that traits of plants with RPVC-MPs addition are more independent of each other. Our findings suggest that recycled PVC MPs pose a greater environmental risk than pristine PVC MPs, offering reference for assessing the risks of recycled plastics in freshwater ecosystems.
