Imagine a plastic bag breaking down over 500 years, but instead of vanishing, it becomes trillions of tiny particles. That’s a microplastic—a piece smaller than 5mm, often invisible to the naked eye. They’re in everything from your sea salt to your morning coffee.
Your body doesn’t really know what to do with them. While research is ongoing, nobody wants a side of plastic with their smoothie. The good news? You can fight back, and your secret weapon is sitting in the kitchen appliance aisle right now.
