To be fair, most microplastics come from tires and synthetic clothing, not plastic vessels used for food.
There is still the problem that most plastics will exist with us for 100s of years. Landfill space isn’t free, it blows around and pollutes the environment, and it is made from oil products.
Plastic is killing us even if it isn’t just the microplaatics.
We could also reduce trie use by building better cities and more transit, we could go back to using more natural fibres for our clothing.
I love plastic. They were right in the midcentury, it’s a wonder material. The fact we use it for cheap disposables (well, “disposables”) is an insult to the chemists that brought us something so wonderful.
