What tools/technology exist today to remove microplastics from water?

This theme comes up time and time again on HN, has anyone attempted to solve this?

It's not that we don't have filters. You can filter your tap water right now of microplastics with standard filters. We don't have the capacity to filter the world's oceans before the microplastics enter the ecosystem.

look no further than this guardian article from this week about bacteria that eat microplastics: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/sep/28/plastic-...
