It's hard to say what methods will work, but it's not hard to imagine possibilities - a bacteria or virus (or even a nanobot someday?!) could be discovered / created that eats plastic but does no harm to a human body (or minimal harm that doesn't matter and can easily be removed/killed once it's got all the plastic) - see for example [1] & [2] different types of recently found plastic-eating bacteria for inspiration (the two bacteria types were found to eat different specific types of plastic, I'm not sure if they've tested each on all types of plastic or just published the first known). Or maybe we discover some sort of light/sound/other wave/something that, like an x-ray, has low enough health risks to be worth sometimes putting through humans, but that somehow does something to plastic that will let the body dispose of it all? Or maybe some drug gets created that somehow turns on some bodily function that can handle the plastic problem. Or.... I don't know, I'm no expert, but I bet there's more possibilities. Of course, would be good to do our best to reduce plastic use altogether anyway, for environmental as well as health reasons!
