Thank you for your interest in On May 3rd, 2025, join us at the first annual International Plastic Pellet Count!
Plastic pellets, also known as nurdles, are typically less than 5 mm in size, and they’re the raw material that’s used to make familiar plastic products like water bottles, grocery bags and polystyrene foam.
These tiny plastics are frequently spilled, leaked or dumped into the environment, especially our waterways, during manufacturing and transport. As a result, they frequently wash up on riverbanks, lakeshores and beaches to illustrate the magnitude of the problem, volunteers across America and beyond will be hosting plastic pellet counts and clean up events at their local waterways to help identify where plastic pellet pollution is happening and make the case for action.
The International Plastic Pellet Count is a chance for individuals and organizations across the country and beyond to go to their local waterways, look for plastic pellets and record what they find, so we can all have a better understanding of where this pollution is happening.
