Microplastics present in our oceans and seas is probably one of the major environmental problems we are facing. Are their any possibe ways to remove it?
It will be difficult if not impossible to totally remove micro plastics from the seas. A good start would be to not allow plastics from being dumped in to the sea or rivers. Second would be to develop a multi-year program to remove the plastic trash from the seas. Plastic can be converted back to oil for re-use. The word micro implies particle size in the range from 1 to 2.5 microns. Commercial technology does not exist to remove this size particle from the open seas.
