Microplastics are only a problem when not properly disposed of. Even in the oceans when the gyres of plastic islands are skimmed off the surface and composted with other organic matter the microplastics will soon become non existent. Takes years to be reduced to this size. Catch the large pieces before they become small will reduce overall volume and danger to the aquatic life. ( for those not familiar with microbiology the reason you have micro plastics is the ocean is breaking down the plastics with natural enzymes. The closer they get to an area with an active volcano the faster they breakdown.)
