Swithenbank-Bowman said the competition was part of Litter4Token’s ongoing projects responding to the catastrophic spill of trillions of plastic nurdles by Vinmar Polymers America and ExxonMobil in August last year off the coast of Plettenberg Bay – of which only 12.6% of the 174.5 metric tons of nurdles were retrieved.
“In fact, most shippers don’t even know they have them on board, but if containers are lost at sea, the bags will split open, dispersing the nurdles,” said Swithenbank-Bowman.
