Reducing Plastic Resin Loss

Operation Clean Sweep (OCS) is a program designed to help plastic resin handling operation implement good housekeeping and pellet, flake, and powder containment practices to work towards achieving zero pellet, flake, and powder loss. Administered by the American Chemistry Council (ACC) and the Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS), OCS helps companies minimize pellet, flake, and powder loss. The program promotes environmental stewardship and workplace safety through pellet loss prevention. It has been implemented in thousands of plants around the world, all adding to the effort to protect the environment.
