Operation Clean Sweep Certificate

Operation Clean Sweep is an international initiative carried out by the plastic industry to reduce the loss of plastic granules to the environment. It was first developed in the USA in 1990 by the American Chemistry Council (ACC) and the Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS). In Türkiye, this initiative is carried out by PAGEV-Turkish Plastic Industry Foundation, and CERTILOOP is the authorized certification body approved by OCS for the implementation of the program in Türkiye. The aim of this program is to ensure that plastic granules, particles, flakes and powders are handled carefully throughout the entire value chain, such as production, transportation, recycling, etc., and do not mix with rivers or seas. Companies participating in the Operation Clean Sweep Program sign a commitment that they will implement the best systems to reduce plastic granule loss and play their part in protecting water, and within this framework, they implement the OCS Turkey certification program prepared by PAGEV in their facilities.
