Pre-production plastic pellets, or nurdles, contribute to significant pollution, with an estimated 10 trillion entering oceans annually. Many also pollute rivers and lakes, including 42 of 66 beaches on the Great Lakes.
In our very first year documenting this form of plastic pollution, nearly 1,000 volunteers helped collect over 36,000 plastic pellets across 25 U.S. states and 10 countries. This remarkable achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication of everyone involved.
