TED-ED: The nurdles' quest for ocean domination - Kim Preshoff

Nurdles, tiny plastic pellets, are a major pollutant found globally in water bodies. They are used in plastic production but often escape into the environment, contributing to ocean pollution. Nurdles accumulate in ocean gyres, notably the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, where they mix with other plastics. These microplastics harm marine life by mimicking food, leading to ingestion and toxin accumulation. To combat this, reducing plastic use and improving recycling are essential steps.
