Since 2016, OCS initiative in Turkiye has been carried out by PAGEV-Turkish Plastics Industry Research, Development and Education Foundation and OCS Turkiye Certification Program has been established as of 2023. According to the Certification program made mandatory by OCS Global, an audit should be carried out by a third party conformity assessment body and certificates should be issued accordingly. CERTILOOP Certification Company is the authorised certification body approved by OCS Global for the implementation of the program in Turkiye.
Although high environmental, safety and quality management controls are applied in the plastics industry, unintentional loss of granules can occur at different stages of the value chain and eventually end up in the environment.
Guidance documents and checklists have been developed to assist companies in the implementation of the OCS Turkiye programme and to establish control measures.
You can reach the companies that have committed to prevent granule loss by participating in the OCS Turkiye programme and have implemented this programme in their facilities here.
The OCS Turkiye Certification Programme verifies the implementation of the OCS Commitment through an external audit. The programme is valid for all companies in the plastics value chain in contact with granules, operating throughout Turkiye.
