Operation Clean Sweep initiative has been launched worldwide in the plastics industry in order to prevent losses and leaks occurring in facilities during the production, transport and production of granules, to prevent marine pollution, which is a global environmental problem, and to prevent the mixing of plastic raw materials on land into the seas.
With this initiative, it is known that awareness, training and inspection services are provided in order to prevent plastic raw material particles from posing a danger to life in the seas. It is important that the companies operating in the plastics sector have the OCS Environmental Certificate with International Validity in order to prevent granule losses and prevent environmental pollution in the seas.
In this context, "OCS Seminar on Granule Microplastic Precaution Certificate within the Framework of EU Green Deal" organised in cooperation with ITO and PAGEV was held on Friday, 28 July 2023 between 09:00-11:00 at ITO Assembly Hall.
