I wasn't even thinking of consumer-facing or transport plastics, I just meant what's used during growing. To start, you put black plastic on the ground to block light and kill off grass, weeds, etc.. Then there's plastic plant "fabric" on the plants at night to keep them warm, then plastic netting over plants to stop birds from eating the berries, and of course the polytunnel (called a hoop houses in some places) itself is made of thick plastic, and it will break down over time due to UV. All of this plastic degrades and turns in to microplastics in the environment. It's tiny by comparison but I always found it annoying that a strimmer is designed to just throw entire spools of plastic in to your garden one tiny piece at a time.
