09 Jan 2024 --- Environmentalists are again decrying the lack of safety and accountability standards in the plastics supply chain following a mass nurdle spillage near the coast of Spain, which has left millions of plastic pellets on beaches around the country’s Galicia region. Deputy Prime Minister Maria Jesus Montero told state news broadcaster TVE that the government is concerned of potential “serious repercussions” but did not yet know the exact environmental impact and whether the spillage would affect fishing.
