    This might be a dumb question but why now? Plastics are a 19th century invention shouldn’t we have been seeing these for a while?

      There’s been an explosion in use of plastics since the 20h century resulting in stupendous amounts of plastic waste. It also takes time for plastics to get ground up into tiny particles that permeate the environment now.
