What are nurdles? A ‘sheen’ of plastic pellets is spotted in the North Sea after ship crash.
Small pellets of plastic are washing up on the east coast of England following the fiery collision of two ships in the North Sea last week.
Although not toxic, these nurdles present a deadly risk to wildlife if ingested.

@Shrigglepuss And what is it made of? I've heard plastic #nurdles (what plastic computer cases are made of) are the worst!

Plastic Makers Have A Big Secret: They’re Experimenting On You - More Perfect Union

Nurdle (plastic pellet) spills are a major problem. Includes profile of Diane Wilson, who sued plastic manufacturers over huge vinyl chloride spills.Nurdle Patrol website:

#nurdles absorb #toxicchemicals like DDT and #mercury—tiny poison pills to be eaten by fish—make their way up the food chain.
nurdles are susceptible to spilling out into waterways and storm drains—companies dump nurdles down the drain on purpose.
10 TRILLION tiny plastic nurdles enter our oceans each year—and yet there's often no penalty for those responsible.
support the #PlasticPelletFreeWatersAct now.

Ik vrees dat de (plastic) soep veel heter wordt gegeten dan die wordt opgediend.
"Dit probleem is al 25 jaar bekend in de branche", verzucht Barendrecht. "Nurdles en piepschuim raken overal verspreid en vermengd. Dat vind ik wel echt de grootste zorg. Uiteindelijk valt al dat plastic uiteen in microplastics, waarvan we de effecten nog niet eens weten."

#Nurdles: The Worst #ToxicWaste You’ve Probably Never Heard Of
Billions of these tiny #plastic pellets are floating in the ocean, causing as much damage as oil spills, yet they are still not classified as hazardous
by Karen McVeigh
"Nurdles, the colloquial term for 'pre-production #plastic pellets', are the little-known building block for all our plastic products. The tiny beads can be made of #polyethylene, #polypropylene, #polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride (#PVC) and other plastics. Released into the environment from plastic plants or when shipped around the world as raw material to factories, they will sink or float, depending on the density of the pellets and if they are in freshwater or saltwater.
"They are often mistaken for food by seabirds, fish and other wildlife. In the environment, they fragment into nanoparticles whose hazards are more complex. They are the second-largest source of #micropollutants in the ocean, by weight, after tyre dust. An astounding 230,000 tonnes of nurdles end up in oceans every year."
