What is the “Zero Pellet Loss” initiative?
The background to this initiative is the global pollution of the oceans with plastic and other waste. “Only a very small portion of marine waste are pellets. Most of it are used objects such as fishing nets, packaging waste or cigarette filters, which are carelessly disposed in the environment,” comments Dr. Isabell Schmidt, Advisor for the Environment and Sustainable Development at the German Association for Plastics Packaging and Films (IK). “Nevertheless, it is important for the plastics processing industry to send out a signal and do everything they can within their direct range of influence.”
The IK “Zero Pellet Loss” initiative is part of the plastic industry’s global commitment to “Zero Pellet” and “Operation Clean Sweep®”. The IK already signed a global declaration of the plastics industry in 2011 in which this sector of industry committed to fight the global marine litter problem.
