    Tires have suspended micro plastics in the rubber, and small particles of rubber are still under the ‘micro plastics’ umbrella as a synthetic plastic polymer, glad you have such an understanding

        Even if you personally decide ‘auhh my micro rubbers’ a tire isn’t a solid block of rubber, it has structural enforcement that is plastic, and both of these polymers, when under 5mm, is micro plastic by definition

        The main definition of rubber is only differentiated by it’s elastic makeup, I understand you’re working with a 5th grade reading level but, homie… they’re classified as micro plastics as much as you want to …do whatever this is
