Plastic threat in spotlight from TT Club
International freight insurance provider TT Club has highlighted the dangers to the marine environment of plastic pellet or nurdle spillage. Those involved in the supply of what is a universal component of plastic materials must be more aware of the risks and take steps to ensure their safe carriage, it said. With the ever-increasing focus on care for the marine environment greater attention must be afforded to the particular risks associated with the transport of microplastic pellets.
