I think we may have FOUND the microplastics magnet. Plaques in our bloodstreams from the article. They were finding MUCH higher concentrations of microplastics in the plaques. My laymen guess is that the plaques themselves are more “sticky?” to microplastics and collect them. The only downside right now is that means we stroke out when the “magnet” gets full.
We kind of have that:

The problem is that you can’t exactly boil solid food, and its energy intensive. But at least it’s something.
Well that’s not a magnet though, meaning you can’t attract it away from being mixed in with other particulate matter. You can with Iron, for example.

Hence why I said kind of.
