ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø

Operation Clean Sweep® is a joint stewardship program administered by the American Chemistry Council's (ACC) Plastics Division and the Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS). In 2018, ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø committed to adopting best practices around pellet, flake, and powder control at all of its industrial sites, including becoming OCS blue members by end of 2020. This is a significant and meaningful recognition for ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø since OCS blue membership is the highest level of participation in the Operation Clean Sweep® program and includes a group of distinguished companies globally that are committed to enhanced actions around pellet, flake, and powder control, reporting, training, and engaging externally on OCS best practices with partners throughout the value chain.

Geoffrey Inch, ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø's North America Sustainability Director, states, "ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø is strengthening its practices and implementing best-in-class materials handling solutions at each of our manufacturing sites, as well as our Innovation & Technology Center. We are building on our culture of continuous improvement as we work toward our objective of zero pellet, flake, and powder loss across our operations. Environmental stewardship is a core part of ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø's sustainable development strategy, and ºÚÁϳԹÏÍø is motivated to do our part to prevent leakage within the supply chain and help ensure plastic is contained, reused or disposed of properly."
