epa11067581 Workers pick up plastic pellets from the sand on Salinas beach in Asturias, Spain, 10 January 2024. Last 13 December 2023, the NGO 'Noia Limpa' informed about the arrival of damaged bags filled with pellets to the Galician coasts. According to the NGO, the bags were marked with the name of the company 'Bedeko Europe' which meant it would probably be lost shipment from a boat. Since then, NGOs as well as private and public cleaning services are working to clear beaches from these pellets, a difficult task due to the size of them. EPA/PACO PAREDES
