Here is a new article from Jacksons Art discussing acrylic paint waste. While we use very little amounts we should not be ignorant of the products we use. There is the following conclusion: “ Acrylic painting is a very tiny contributor to the microplastics problem. If you wish to make a real impact it would be more effective to encourage industry to make changes, as they are the major contributors. If you would like to do something about your paint water, you can easily filter the solids out of the water with a simple procedure and dispose of them with your solid waste.”

I would think it could be an issue if your waste water could affect a well or pond on your property.
