Global producer responsibility for plastic pollution Branded plastic pollution is caused primarily by the largest producers of single-use and short-lived plastics.

Nurdles are polluting our beaches and harming wildlife โ€” and the UK is still behind EU standards. We need stronger rules and proper enforcement now.
