for anyone working with acrylic paint, this stuff is plastic so it’s best not to just chuck it down your sink.

There is a way to filter the plastics https://www.jacksonsart.com/blog/2023/09/28/acrylic-painting-rinse-water-microplastics/

Trying out the golden crash system (though you can just buy buckets and elements yourself to do it cheaper) and it got some very good results.
