04 Jun 2020 --- The British Standards Institution (BSI), the national standards body of the UK, is spearheading a new project aimed at creating the first specification that will help prevent plastic pellet pollution. The report is sponsored by the British Plastics Federation (BPF), among other investors, and will be published in July 2021. The fast-tracked standardization document will provide an important tool for companies to demonstrate good practice in pellet loss prevention measures across the supply chain. Pressingly, plastic pellets pose significant threat to biodiversity across sea life.
