This is one of the reasons why you don't want to be operating any kind of business in CA.

"Nurdles" . . . ?!? That's funny; when I was working in the plastic business, they were called pellets.
The "Land of Fruits and Nuts" is committing economic suicide.

“Nurdles” are much more touchy-feely than harsh-sounding “pellets.” Even California’s toxins must be PC!

According to the article, there is a giant collection of plastic garbage/soup twice the size of Texas in the Pacific Ocean. (You can’t see it in satellite pictures though, because plastic is translucent.)

How do they know that garbage did not float there from CHINA?
To: smokingfrog
By any chance were they speaking of styrofoam packing peanuts? I have never seen a loose “nurdle” in my life, and if they are the raw form of plastic bags and such I do not know why a company would waste any.

How do they know that garbage did not float there from CHINA? Good question. They must have checked their nurdle DNA. /s

I didn’t say they didn’t exist, I said I’d never before this heard of a US company wasting any, particularly in such a way they could get loose on the ground or in the water. Of course they would be bad news if eaten by sufficiently small critters.

I hope the nurdle Nazis don’t come to Texas. My brother in law works for a company that makes that stuff. Seems like the environmentalists are trying to make plastics the DDT of the 21st century.

Don’t waste your nurdles and you should be ok... I mean how is the common consumer ever going to get nurdles?
