Produktbeschreibung

Plastic pellets are small granules used as raw materials in the production of plastic materials of all kinds. These granules are small in size and weight. There are various industrial and logistical activities involved in handling this raw material, such as production, processing, storage, transportation and distribution. These activities, when poorly managed, can act as a driver for the loss of pellets to marine environments. Mitigation of pellet loss is not completely efficient. In short, the industries and companies that deal with these pellets cannot simply dump them. However, at the same time, there are no specific legal frameworks on this issue.The panorama of pellet pollution on Brazilian beaches is one of contamination for the most part. This book discusses the cause of this pollution, the lack of legal frameworks and monitoring, as well as reflecting on the exacerbated consumption of today's society.
