We don’t just collect Nurdles, using vacuum allows us to collect plastic DUST too! It’s mind boggling seeing it in person and tried my best to capture it on camera. This is the stuff the filter feeders eat, and it accumulated in extremely high numbers on sandy beaches! Huge thanks to the wonderful @watergatebay hotel, who have given us a lovely stay and although it’s not their pollution, they’ve very kindly covered our expenses to come and clear it 😊 #nanoplastics #nanoplastic #microplastic #mi

Our next cleanup is a PUBLIC one! 🥳 We’re bringing a few vacs, the nurdle machine, and some of our new screeners to Watergate Bay this weekend to tackle the microplastic pollution that washes in there from the open ocean. The beach is a magnet for ocean plastic and it all accumulates at the bottom of the slope, funnelled there by the topography of the cliffs. If you’re free and fancy popping along to help out, feel free to just rock up! We’ll be there from 8am on the Saturday and if you are com

I just absolutely love this machine. #plasticpollution #cleanup #microplastics #contaminatedland #plastic #nurdle | Nurdle

Day 1 done and dusted down at Camber Sands. Wow we genuinely stopped for 10mins only today to scran some lunch down, kindly bought by one of Rother Councils coastal officers 😂 We removed a grand total of 142.25kg today, which is just over 4,000,000 beads. That total doesn’t include what southern water have recovered too! Another huge day tomorrow, we’ll be hard pressed to beat that effort but we’ll give it a good go 🤜 #plasticpollution #oceanplastic #biobeads #cambersands | Nurdle

More details on the long term Camber Sands cleanup below… 👇 In the short term we’re going to be using the Nurdle machine to remove the pollution from the entire strandline of the beach. Simultaneously, 25 people hired by Southern Water are using the screens to methodically cover the entire beach. We’ve covered about a third of it now and we’re going to keep going until the machines are ready. The medium term approach is to build 3 more Nurdle machines ( the original Noo Noo) to be here for 2 we

Wow! What a first day. We went absolutely hell for leather all day clearing Watergate Bay. The nano plastic pollution down here is shocking and through our techniques, we can gather it all as well as the microplastics 😊 the vacuum is the right power just to prise the plastic from the sand and separate it out! We removed millions of pieces of plastic today and can’t wait to see tomorrow morning how much it’s reduced by! @plymuni are studying the microplastic return rates and data to see how effe

Hey everyone! We hate asking for donations 😩 However we’re now in a position where we have the equipment to start tackling microplastics all across the UK and really getting on top of this issue. We have proven though our methods time and time again that we can remove over 90% of microplastics from distinct zones around the coastline in only a couple of cleanups- we call these Micro Plastic Accumulation Zones. Southern Water have funded 3 brand new Nurdle machines now, and these are absolute be
