Plastics are made of polymers, strings of monomers. They come in forms of nylons and could spend a minimum of a thousand years to get decayed if it actually will. These particles get to the sea an

"Nonsentient plankton absorb roughly half the carbon dioxide produced by your civilisation. That, as you might say, is the good news.
