A lot of plastic breaks down after 500 years, so…they’d have a helluva time finding anything not broken into nano particles or hell, at that point, something likely would have evolved to eat it more efficiently than we have now, very similar to how oil was made in the first place, when trees had nothing to break them down yet so they just compacted on top of each other over time.
