Also most microplastics in the environment are from rubber tires grinding away on road surfaces so the food packaging stuff is a little forest for the trees imo.

Yeah but a screenshot is an explicit action by the user where they have the opportunity to curate what is captured. That is not the case when it's just going on in the background.
