What Is Operation Clean Sweep?
SIGN UP NOW AND PLEDGE YOUR SUPPORT
Operation Clean Sweep® (OCS) is an international initiative from the plastics industry to reduce plastic pellet loss, flake or powder into the environment. In the UK, it is led by the British Plastics Federation (BPF).
The initiative’s aim is to ensure that the plastic pellets, flakes and powders that pass through manufacturing facilities in the UK are handled with the care they deserve and do not end up in our rivers or seas.
By signing up to Operation Clean Sweep®, companies make a commitment to adhere to best practice and implement systems to prevent plastic pellet loss — and that they will play their part in protecting the aquatic environment. 🌎
Resources
We ensure all companies participating in Operation Clean Sweep® are provided with all the materials they need to adhere to best practice, find them here.
