We CAN Stop Plastic Pellet Pollution

Zero plastic resin loss is a priority for the plastics industry—and a critical issue for our environment. 

Plastic Pellets Are Terrible for the Environment

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.

UltraTech International 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. 

Ultra-Pellet Pan®

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.

Ultra-Pellet Pan®
Composite Model

20' composite track pans capture even more plastic pellet spills from railcars

The Ultra-Pellet Pan – Composite Model 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.

Ultra-Containment Berm®
Mini Foam Wall Model (Duck Pond)

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.

Ultra-Storm Guard®

Heavy-duty, adjustable catch basin filter captures plastic pellets and other contaminants

The Ultra-Storm Guard captures microplastics (“nurdles”) and other floatables before they enter our waterways where marine life and wildlife ingest them, which is often fatal.

Ultra-Storm Guard HD®

Heavy-duty, adjustable catch basin filter captures plastic pellets as small as 1.5mm

With its built-in stainless steel screens, the Ultra-Storm Guard HD captures plastic pellets that are smaller than our original Ultra-Storm Guard (above).

Ultra-Storm Guard HDC®

Heavy-duty, adjustable catch basin filter captures plastic pellets between 1.0mm and 5.0mm

The Ultra-Storm Guard HDC uses a replaceable and removable cartridge system to capture a wider range of microplastics and other contaminants than our other models.

Ultra-Pellet Trap®

Stop plastic pellets and other debris from entering stormwater drains and polluting our waterways

The Ultra-Pellet Trap will stop plastic pellets from entering our waterways through stormwater drains, while also filtering out other dangerous contaminants such as oil, eroded soil, debris, and fuel from vehicles.

Ultra-Berm Builder®
Plus Model

Drive-over barrier provides heavy-duty custom plastic pellet containment

Create permanent plastic pellet containment on concrete, asphalt, and most sealed surfaces with the Ultra-Berm Builder Plus. Perfect for areas where pellets may spill during open transfers.

Ultra-Track Berm®

Portable plastic pellet 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. 

Ultra-Containment Berm®
Ultimate Model

Keep plastic pellets off the ground

The Ultra-Containment Berm is designed to capture leaks and spills from large vehicles and is equally as effective in capturing plastic pellets from spilling onto the ground and ultimately being washed into our waterways. 

Ultra-Pellet Drain®

Convert almost any flexible spill containment berm into a plastic pellets containment berm

If you need to contain plastic pellets (“nurdles”), many of our flexible containment berms can be shipped with one or more 6″ drains to provide quick draining of water while still containing plastic pellets.

Ultra-Drain Seal®

Completely seal stormwater drains to protect our waterways during emergency spills

The Ultra-Drain Seal can be used in an emergency or temporarily during loading and unloading operations to stop plastic pellets (and anything else) from entering our waterways through storm drains. 

Ultra-Filter Sock®

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.

Ultra-Utility Tray®

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. 

Ultra-Pipe Sock®

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.

Ultra-Dewatering Bag®

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.
