PlasticList is amazing and thank your raising these issues, it never crossed my mind and I use this everyday!

That linked StackExchange thread perfectly portrays why the site went down the drain.

>Maybe you'll ingest more microplastic on fish or proteins in higher food chain than grinders.

>If you drink tea you've got a lot more to worry about in terms of ingestion.

OK ... ?

>Your concern, although logically valid, is nearly impossible to regulate or even measure.

And yet, PlasticList is a thing.

>We're talking about amount that is, literally, microscopic.

Yeah Einstein, that's why they're called microplastics.

I am SO glad that place is extinct now.
