- The Hong Kong plastic disaster refers to a marine pollution event in adjacent waters of Hong Kong in 2012. Typhoon Vicente hit Hong Kong and its adjacent waters on 23 July 2012, causing seven containers, six of which were loaded with polypropylene pellets produced by China Petroleum & Chemical Corporation (Sinopec), in a container ship of China Shipping Container Lines (CSCL) to fall into and float on the Hong Kong south waters after the storm. Some containers were destroyed by waves, releasing plastic pellets into the ocean, which became marine debris scattering across Hong Kong's south waters and beaches with water flow, resulting in wide environmental and ecological pollution and threatening local fishery. Plastic pellets were washed up to the shore the day after the storm hit Hong Kong and were first found by members of the NGO, DB Green, of the Discovery Bay. At the beginning, no reports came from the mainstream media. The clean-up was basically led by DB Green, the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society (Hong Kong) and other NGOs, which spread news through social websites and network media. Those news reports gradually raised from public awareness and a number of Hong Kong citizens took clean-up actions on their own initiative. Nearly a fortnight after the incident, a number of reports began to appear in the Hong Kong media. Departments of the government of Hong Kong, including the Marine Department (MD) and Food and Environmental Hygiene Department cooperated in the clean-up, but the government kept these news from the public until 5 August when Secretaries of bureaus began to explain it to the public. Sinopec, owner of the containers of plastic pellets, as well as CSCL began to work in tandem with the NGOs in the clean-up at the end of July. However, it remained unclear that who should be responsible for the pollution of plastic pellets. China Petroleum and Chemical Corp said nurdles are not toxic nor hazardous on their own. (en)
- 香港膠災是2012年发生在香港附近海域的一次海洋污染事件。2012年7月23日，強颱風韋森特吹襲香港，邻近海域普遍颳起颶風；导致一艘於香港南面水域的中海集運貨櫃船的7個貨櫃墮海，當中6個貨櫃裝滿由中國石化生產的聚丙烯膠粒，並在風暴過後於香港南面海域漂流。部分貨櫃遭海浪擊毀，使櫃內膠粒進入海洋，成為海洋垃圾，並隨水流散佈於香港南部海域及岸灘，造成廣泛環境及生態污染，同時影響本地漁業。 膠粒在風暴襲港翌日已陸續沖上海岸，並由愉景灣非政府組織成員率先發現。膠災之初，香港主流媒體基本没有进行报导。清理工作基本由DB Green、香港海洋守護者協會及其他非政府組織主導，並透過社交網站以及網絡媒體傳播消息。這些消息逐步在民間引起強烈反響，大量香港普通市民決定自發到海岸清理。 事發近兩週後，香港報章及電視媒體開始大幅度報導事件。海事處及食物環境衛生署等香港政府部門一直積極與民間組織協作清理，但政府從未向公眾發佈相關消息。到8月5日，開始有局長級官員向公眾交代。膠粒貨主中國石化公司以及船運公司中海集運都在7月底開始與非政府組織合作清理。但膠粒污染的責任問題尚未獲釐清。 (zh)
