| Abstract | The American Chemistry Council (ACC) and Plastics Industry Association (PIA) have announced a new program to help manage and prevent the accidental release of pre-production plastic pellets, sometimes called "nurdles," into the environment, but an environmental group says it does not go far enough. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) describes nurdles as plastic beads about one-fifth of an inch in diameter and says they are widely used in manufacturing. OCS Blue is an enhancement of a 25-year-old program called Operation Clean Sweep. |
