I felt a strange urge to buy me some bugs and let them eat my plastic garbage after watching this video ๐Ÿ˜‚

Someone commented that microplastics would still emerge during/after bugs have dealt with plastics.
Do we have any bug existing that could eliminate microplastics as well?

From the article: โ€œ The wheat kernel contains 8%โ€“15% of protein, from which 10%โ€“15% is albumin/globulin and 85%โ€“90% is gluten (Fig. 1).1 Gluten is a complex mixture of hundreds of related but distinct proteins, mainly gliadin and glutenin. Different wheat varieties vary in protein content and in the composition and distribution of gluten proteins.โ€
