It definitely merits study, but I imagine the best ideas are going to be in plastic-digesting microbes, and measures to reduce the amount of new plastic that gets into the system. I'm afraid we're going to have a layer of microscopic plastic sediment on our crust, just as we have a layer of radioactive soil from atomic testing in the 50s and 60s. It will be one of the geological landmarks of our era.
