Do you…drive a car? Rubber rubbing off from your tires onto the road is one of the main contribution (2nd highest) to ocean micro plastics as your tires are filled with them suspended in the tire…
Tires have suspended micro plastics in the rubber, and small particles of rubber are still under the ‘micro plastics’ umbrella as a synthetic plastic polymer, glad you have such an understanding

tbf what matters here more is microplastic production per capita rather than overall production
That is what’s referred to as ‘a distinction without a difference’.
what’s your opinion on private jets?
Nobody should have a private jet
How is that relevant to the topic of microplastics? Outside of tires, which again — see my first point.
Which is much lower for 3d printers, than it is for cars :3
yeah probably, im not debating that (open source 3d printing is one of the best innovations in recent years fight me)
Tires are the 2nd largest contributor to microplastics in the ocean. Synthetic fabric like nylon, polyester, etc. are the main contribution.
And the majority of that is fishing nets. I’ll keep my printer thank you.
Aw man there goes my all polyester 70’s wardrobe!
Insert scroll of truth meme here.
what happens to be the highest?
Your mom.
everyone’s, really. if its even been found in mariana’s trench, of course it’s in yo mamma’s trench too.
UsernameHere has it right below you love
Tires are made of rubber though.

Shouldn’t those be micro rubbers and I’m not talking about my condoms.
