Beach cleaner recognised for collecting nurdles with tea strainer

A new beach cleaning device has been launched on Purbeck. It's been named in honour of Purbeck woman who has removed over half a million nurdles from Swanage beach. The ‘Trommel’ - as it's called - was unveiled as part of a surprise tribute to local resident Mary Dwen, who has spent thousands of hours over more than ten years sifting the plastic pellets from the sand, using nothing more than a tea strainer!
