Sky News published this video item, entitled “Record number of plastic nurdles found on beaches” – below is their description.
More nurdles have been found on beaches than ever before as environmental groups call for legislation to class them as marine pollutants so they’re subject to stricter laws during handling and transportation.
Nurdles are tiny pellets of plastic used by industry to produce nearly all of our plastic products but factory and cargo spillages mean many escape into the environment and end up in the sea.
They can have devastating consequences for wildlife and can soak up chemical pollutants before releasing toxins into the creatures that eat them.
