Operation Clean Sweep (OCS) certification
Synfaring is officially approved by Plastics Europe as a Certification Body (CB) for Operation Clean Sweep. This marks an important step in making OCS certification available to, among others, Norwegian companies.
What is OCS (Operation Clean Sweep)?
OCS is a European initiative aimed at preventing plastic pellets, flakes, and powders from ending up in the environment – and the certification scheme is developed to contribute to a more responsible and sustainable plastics industry.
Synfaring became involved in the work when NCMT (Norwegian Composite and Materials Technical Association) took the initiative to establish a national certification scheme in Norway. As part of NCMT’s working group, we have contributed to mapping relevant requirements, including ISO 17021 and ISO 17065, and developed a solid foundation for certification in line with European standards.
OCS certification provides companies in the plastics value chain with the opportunity to document and improve their routines for handling plastic materials, and helps reduce the risk of microplastic pollution.
