When you wash clothing that contains artificial fibres you dump a load into the water system, and depending where you live some will end up in the sea. All those acrylic fleeces and blankets shed thousands of particles each wash.
Some cosmetics contain plastic microbeads, and when you use those and wash them off you dump the microbeads into the water system.
