TBH, I believe it will be Avery long time before PHE (or the DMGs) get round to dealing with the plastics that are already in the oceans. Initially I expect the DMGs too be involved with waste management companies and local authorities, disposing of end of use plastics that would otherwise have to go to landfill or incineration. That will keep PHE and its associates busy for a very long time.
Then there's all of the mountains of tyres throughout the world to deal with.
Perhaps someone else, with different technology, will have to deal with what is already in the oceans. And let's face it, someone has got to go out there an "fish" for the plastic in the first place!
