I'm sure it must have some impact on wildlife.

Well...considering it is ingested by many animals (fish, birds, turtles, etc.), whether confusing it for good or inadvertently consuming it, it's a big problem.
Edit: there are issues with microplastic beads from face washes getting into waterways and found in freshwater fishes (and probably elsewhere).

It has been shown that very small particles of plastic are taken up by oysters and then passed on to humans that consume them. This also reduces the fertility of oysters.
