Environmental campaigners raise awareness of plastic pellets polluting Britain's waterways and beaches

The video discusses the environmental impact of plastic pellets, known as nurdles, used in manufacturing. These pellets often escape into the ocean, breaking down into microplastics and absorbing pollutants. The problem is historical, with much waste originating from the Pacific Rim. Currently, there are no UK regulations on nurdle management, leading to environmental harm. Campaigners urge companies and governments to implement better containment and cleanup measures.

Discuss the historical context of nurdle pollution and its origins.

What measures are being suggested to prevent nurdles from entering the environment?
