Home » Plastic Pellet Pollution
Plastic pellets lost during the manufacturing of plastic products are polluting our waterways. Often called microplastics or “nurdles,” these plastic pellets are being ingested by marine life and wildlife and cannot pass through most animals’ digestive tracts, leading to malnutrition and starvation.
Chatoyer, in partnership with Ultratech, is committed to doing its part to stop plastic resins from entering our waterways with products designed to capture and contain plastic pellets and other contaminants during day-to-day operations across many industries.
Be a Part of the Solution!
With products designed to capture and contain plastic pellets and other contaminants during day-to-day operations across many industries, together, we can reduce and even strive to prevent plastic pellet loss.
Capture plastic pellet spills from railroad hoppers
The Ultra-Pellet Pan track pan has been specifically engineered as a permanent solution to capture plastic pellets as small as 1mm in diameter, while allowing rainwater to drain out, preventing costly cleanup and regulatory fines.
Six metre composite track pans capture even more plastic pellet spills from railcars
The Ultra-Pellet Pan Composite captures plastic pellet spills from railroad hoppers just like its polyethylene cousin, but is longer and can be connected to one another to form just about any length.
Rapid deployment solution to capture plastic pellets during loading and unloading operations
These compact, foldable, and flexible containment berms are easy to store, transport, and deploy where permanent pellet containment isn’t available. Requires Ultra-Pellet Drain to be installed before shipping.
Portable plastic containment
A portable railroad spill containment and spill response solution, the Ultra-Track Berm captures up to 114 gallons and is perfect for capturing plastic pellets during loading, unloading, and clean-out operations.
Filter stormwater around street drains while stopping plastic pellets at the same time
The Ultra-Filter Sock can be placed around stormwater drains, across gullies and ditches, or anywhere debris—including plastic pellet debris—needs to be filtered out of stormwater flow.
Capture plastic pellets at the point of discharge
The Ultra-Utility Tray can be placed directly under the discharge gate of the rail hopper, the inlet coupler of a vehicle being transloaded, or anywhere else plastic pellets may escape.
Stop plastic pellets from escaping discharge gates during clean-out operations
The Ultra-Pipe Sock can be clamped onto the discharge gate coupler or hose of a rail hopper during clean-out operations. Water will flow through the patented Ultra-Filter-Tex material while trapping any plastic pellet debris.
Capture and contain plastic pellet debris during railcar clean-out operations
The Ultra-Dewatering Bag (Oil & Sediment Model) can be clamped onto the discharge gate coupler or hose of a rail hopper during clean-out operations. Water will flow through the bag while trapping any plastic pellet debris inside.
