Plastic Nurdles Seen At The Beach In Ambalangoda
A person holds a plastic nurdle in their hand at the beach in Ambalangoda, Sri Lanka, on July 9, 2025. Plastic nurdles are small plastic pellets, roughly the size of a lentil or pencil eraser, used as the raw material for nearly all plastic products. These pellets, also known as plastic resin, are melted down and molded into various items, from water bottles to computer parts. Due to their small size and light weight, they are easily spilled and transported, leading to widespread environmental pollution. (Photo by Thilina Kaluthotage/NurPhoto)
