Minister visits Port of Tyne to support plastic pellet clean-up

The Port of Tyne has been the site of a significant environmental effort in recent times, with the clean-up of plastic pellets being a key concern for local authorities and conservation groups. Plastic pellets, also known as nurdles, are small plastic beads used in the production of larger plastic items, and their release into the environment can have harmful effects on wildlife and ecosystems. The visit by the minister highlights the importance of addressing this issue and the need for collaborative efforts to protect the UK's coastal environments.
