Pellet Cleaning Continues In Galician Sandbanks

Volunteers make a collection of pellets from the sand, Galicia, January 7, 2024, in A Coruña, Galicia (Spain). Large quantities of plastic pellets have been appearing, since December 13 in the Rias Baixas and in the estuary of Muros de Noia in more than 70 bags of about 25 kilos, with the name of the company Bedeko Europe based in Poland. This has been reported by the Noia Limpa Association, which has detailed that the loss of goods from six containers of the ship Tocomao, registered with IMO number 9627899 and flagged Liberia, near Viana do Castelo, in Portugal, was reported. Pellets are small plastic balls of less than five millimeters that are used to manufacture plastic products, because of their small size and light weight, it is "almost impossible to clean them up" once they are spread on the beaches.
