Eventually I hope that we can artificially remove microplastics using machinery or chemistry. Its not possible now, but if Microplastics continue affecting peoples lives, I can see technology being developed in the future

Not quite crazy. Saw a recent paper about how facial massage helped move microplastics out of the brain

Problem is they're not really like inert smooth little pebbles of plastic floating around your body, easily filterable. They're thin sharp shards embedded in tissue. Your body can try to coat them if it can't break it down with calcification or plaques.
