Plastic pellets, also known as resin pellets or nurdles, are small, round plastic pieces used as raw materials in the production of various plastic products. These pellets are made from different types of polymers, such as polyethylene and polypropylene, and are typically produced through a process called polymerization. They serve as the building blocks for manufacturing items like containers, toys, and packaging materials. Once produced, plastic pellets are transported to factories where they are melted and molded into final products. The use of pellets allows for efficient handling and processing, as they can be easily transported and stored. However, improper disposal of plastic pellets can lead to environmental issues, as they can pollute waterways and harm wildlife.
