Oh boy I sure do love plastic with my water.

Realistically though, is there any way to really filter out these?

Sawyer tap filters remove 100% of microplastics (which I'm really hoping is legit!). They fit right on your tap and other than looking a bit funny work great. Just replaced my Brita filter with one a few weeks ago.

Quoting as 100% effective is a good indicator of bullshit in any scenario

Well also that tap water filters are usually a giant plastic contaminant themselves.

What makes its limitation 500 gallons "per day"?
