The only way to reduce micro plastics is to reduce plastic production. We need to go with paper bags and glass jars or aluminum cans, bamboo straws, etc. the more we reduce, the fewer micro plastics we will add to the environment. I don’t know how dangerous these micro plastics are to life, but I am sure our children will find out.
Recycling was the big lie the corporations forced down everyone’s throat. They shifted the blame from those who produce plastic products to those who consume them. They slowly replaced all packaging materials with plastic in the name of convenience and saving money and weight.
Later, when recycling was deemed not be effective enough and the corporations needing a new scapegoat, They rebranded and green washed everything. Now every corporation has a mission statement than includes their commitment to environmental responsibility. While in the background they’re selling their carbon credits and laughing at gullible people who believe the current bullshit they pass off as environmentalism.
i imagine the average high street or mall shop uses more plastic in a month than an average common or garden household uses in a year, and it goes up in magnitude from there.
It’s actually really easy. You just bleed a whole bunch then consume foods and drinks without microplastics in them so your body regenerates new blood without microplastics. Then you wait for that blood to pick up some microplastics from you body and bleed a whole bunch again and repeat that process to keep reducing the amount of micro plastics in your body.
The key part is to just make sure you aren’t being exposed to any micro plastics at all while you’re doing that which is basically impossible to do so good luck.

This starts with corporations.
The masses can start doing paper and glass, but corps are by far way more wasteful with plastics.
3m recently invented a great replacement for packing supplies. Instead of plastic bubble bags you get this paper that opens into cushionlock

OK, but they’re already in us. How we gonna get that shit out?
You don’t.
You can get them out but it’s highly invasive and involves putting your body in the hands of a mad scientist.

It stays in you, you die, buried, next generation might die with fewer, etc
“That’s the neat part: you don’t!”
You may not be able to remove them but by reducing usage we can make sure that future generations won’t have this problem.
The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, the next best time is today.
The same way we un-leadpoisoned the boomers.
We don’t.
