The GP wrote about replacing plastics because they are ubiquitous in our daily life. They are everywhere in manufacturing and transportation, and technology/electronics. So indeed we have survived for a long term as humankind. Most of that time we were simple hunter/gatherers.
Do you want to go back to that age? Can you imagine the popularity of going back to such austerity?
If not, we probably need a replacement.

The main source of microplastics is single-use plastic in packaging and plastic textile both of which could be dramatically reduced and in many cases outright banned. The main barrier is not technological, the main barrier is purely economical, no company would want to foot that bill and no regulatory has the courage to enforce it.
