It kind of doesn't work like this. Because science isn't some kind of magical thing that can just solve anything, but also because many people don't care that much about their own safety.
For exemple there is a whitening active banned in european cosmetics because it is known for being very bad, but because it works well there is a full black market of it

I am guessing hair relaxers?

Reply to UV light from the sun slowly breaks down plastics on the ocean’s surfaces: researchers calculate that about two percent of visibly floating plastic may disappear from the ocean surface in this way each year by giuliomagnifico
Sure, it breaks down into small enough particles that we end up ingesting it. Yaaaaaay…

That’s what’s ending up in the ocean.

But like they're doing this to themselves correct? There's no epidemic of women being forced to be hairdressers and being forced to choose toxic products to use right?

And yet considering this micro plastics have been found in fish and at some of the craziest depths of our oceans, this isn’t good news this is startling compounded with everything else

Majority of the case each race is going to their own for their haircut. Why would you NOT go to someone who KNOWS your hair texture? When I get my haircut by black barbers it looks hilarious, I had to a couple times due to military.

Reply to COVID vaccines and first boosters provided protection to pregnant women during Omicron surge. Looking at unvaccinated women, you still have an increased death rate, and increased neonatal mortality. If you are vaccinated and boosted, especially with a mRNA vaccine, those levels drop by 81%. by Wagamaga

Rarely is the case, very obviously observable in real life too.

Sure but copper and lead pipes are inferior to pex in basically every way. PVC is also great for a lot of non residential cases. Steel production is laughably more CO2 intensive.
Plastic provides cleaner, safer water with fewer leaks and lower emissions. It also isn’t worth stealing like copper pipes and doesn’t have to be joined in a process that’s highly toxic.

I think hairdressers can serve different races.

They actually don’t shed off of everything, specially harder plastics.

Yeah no. Micro plastics shed off into everything. Congrats, you just enriched the soil

Does this mean we can use UV light to break down plastics in, say, an industrial capacity, and maybe do something useful with the byproducts?

This is what I think of when someone condescendingly says “Everything is a chemical.” Yes, but we are pretty familiar with the effects of water and oxygen.
