I still don’t get how that’s possible.

Plastic breaks down into smaller and smaller particles over time, until they're so small that they can pass any filter in the human body.

and biomagnification
When predatory animals consume their prey they also consume all of the toxic chemicals within said prey. When these toxins aren't easily excreted they build up in the animal.
The higher up the food chain you are, the more it builds up at each level, until it gets super dangerous at the top
Because plastics aren't degradable and our bodies have never evolved a way to get rid of them, enough of any material even if its not inherently toxic, can block crucial bodily functions. Even if the level of plastics aren't much (they are) in the environment, it all gathers and comes back to us since we're at the top of the food chain.
