Plastic pellets are not harmless cargo. 🐣 Decades of research show they are persistent, widely dispersed, ingested by wildlife, and capable of carrying hazardous chemicals across oceans. 🌍🌊 In our new perspective, we call on the IMO to recognize the risks and strengthen global regulation. ⚓

The science is undeniable: plastic pollution harms people and the environment throughout its entire life cycle. We already know enough to justify urgent action. Ignoring the scientific evidence will only worsen plastics’ impacts on human health and the environment.
