Taking part is easy, can be done anywhere, anytime and by anyone, and it helps illustrate the global extent of this pollution problem.THE PROBLEM

FIDRA’S RESPONSE TO SRI LANKA PLASTIC PELLET SPILL Fidra are devastated to see Sri Lanka is facing one of its worst marine pollution events to date. This is due to a container ship catching fire last week off the west coast of Sri Lanka. The X- Press Pearl is said to have caught fire due to a leak of nitric acid on board the vessel and has burned for numerous days spilling vast quantities of pre-production plastic pellets (nurdles) and hazardous chemicals into the ocean. The spill has been predicted to cause an unfathomable amount of environmental damage, with dead birds and fish already washing up on the Sri Lanka coastline. We offer our thoughts and condolences to the local communities and organisations who are dealing with the impacts of this event.Read more ...

WHAT PELLET RESTRICTIONS ARE WITHIN REACH? As part of ambitious new restrictions on microplastic ingredients across Europe, the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA) has proposed that companies handling pellets should report estimates of nurdle spills to the environment, as well as instructions for use and disposal (IFUD) when selling these microplastic particles. While we’re pleased to see pellets being acknowledged as a problem and included in this wider microplastics restriction, we think the proposal can go much further to stop pellets reaching the environment in the first place.Read more ...

SETTING THE STANDARD: OUR EXPECTATIONS FOR SOLUTIONS TO PELLETPOLLUTION
Stopping nurdle pollution requires the whole plastics industry to follow the highest possible standards of plastic pellet control. In a new set of briefings, Fidra have teamed up with partners Fauna & Flora International to set out clearly our expectations for an effective set of STANDARDS AND CERTIFICATION SCHEMES that can be used to stop pellets escaping to theenvironment.
While we see legislation as ultimately needed to make sure all companies across the huge, complex plastics supply chain are handling pellets without unnecessary pollution, well-designed standards and certifications are a vital first step to making an effective industry-wide system to tackle pellet loss at source. This blog explains a bit more about this stepping stone to stoppingpellet pollution.
