On the last day of nurdle hunting on Blombos beach for .mate.project I found the least nurdles of the entire last month. Which is of course a good thing! I also did quite a bit of damage to the nurdle population to be honest, filling a huge ziplock bag, nurdle by nurdle. But the best work is done by the cleaning team of Spill Tech for sure, who day in day out, 6 days a week, clean beaches al the way to Cape Town after the mayor nurdle spill of 2020. Avoiding is always better than curing...

Every year 230,000 tonnes of nurdles are lost, entering the environment at multiple points along the plastic supply chain. A supply chain approach and implementing best practice at each stage in the supply chain can prevent nurdle entering the environment!

This month we launched our new hub to support NGOs tackling nurdle pollution. Learn more about how your organisation can get involved by following the link in bio👆

Nurdle hunting near Klipdrift cave, South Africa. Astonishing amount spread out over the entire coastline after a huge nurdle spill near Cape Town years ago. Soon to be added to Check Mate for the next exhibition .mate.project

New arrival from Becki , a sustainable driftwood artist based in Portchester, Hampshire, UK. They forage for driftwood by hand along the local shorelines and surrounding beaches,  which are then transformed in exquisite original wall hanging art and other decor.

Nurdle hunting myself in Blombos, South Africa. Years after a huge nurdle spill off the coast, the beaches are still covered with nurdles. Mostly transparant virgin plastic. 📸 by

Reposted from Hit the ground running. Straight from the airport to Écaussinnes, 30 minutes from Brussels where a persistent plastic nurdle disaster is poisoning the whole world. Millions and millions of plastic nurdles are littered on the ground and find their way to the sea via the river Senne/Zenne. If you ever wondered where these pristine come from that you find on the beach: the industrial complex in Écaussinnes is one of the sources. organised by with the presence of EU deputies, members of EU commission, representatives of Belgian and Walloon government .ries John Wante from and .be Can we please close this plastic dripping tap once and for all?
