Join the Great Nurdle Hunt
Nurdles are small plastic pellets which, when melted together, are used by industry to make nearly all our plastic products. The Great Nurdle Hunt has put together some advice on finding them – just don't forget to send them your data afterwards!
Globally, there is an estimated 230,000 tonnes of plastic pellets (or nurdles) polluting our oceans every year.
