    Of course we need stop producing plastics, or at least the types that break down so easily.

    But even then, the micro plastics will likely remain in the environment for some time, so efforts to filter them from water are important. Especially considering as some of the health effects are only starting to become apparent. See https://www.uri.edu/news/2023/08/microplastics-infiltrate-all-systems-of-body-cause-behavioral-changes/
