EuPC&Plastics Europe launch public consultation on their OCS voluntary certification scheme project

PRESS RELEASE - Major milestone in the fight against pellet loss in the environment

Following several years of continuous development and adoption of OCS program throughout the plastics value-chain*, EuPC, the association of European Plastics Converters, and Plastics Europe,the association of plastics manufacturers in Europe, have decided to go a step further and have committed to jointly develop and launch by 2022 an OCS certification scheme.

 

This certification scheme aims at controlling and documenting compliance with OCS requirements targeting minimization of pellet loss across the entire plastic supply chain. This will also support the effective, harmonised, and quantifiable implementation of the OCS programme. The externally audited companies compliant with the certification scheme will be registered on a publicly available on-line Public Register.

The development process of this certification scheme, carried out under the supervision of a multi-stakeholders committee, gathering representatives of policymakers, NGOs, certification bodies and industry, aims at being transparent and inclusive. In that perspective, we are pleased to open today a public consultation to welcome views from various stakeholders on its rules and principles as well as on its detailed audit requirements and associated checklist (documents can be found here: Public Consultation on OCS Certification Scheme : OpCleanSweep).

 

You are invited to participate until 29 May in that public consultation here.
