DUBAI — Major players from across the plastic value chain in the Arabian Gulf have adopted Operation Clean Sweep (OCS) in an effort to address plastic waste, the Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association (GPCA), the voice of the chemical industry in the Arabian Gulf, announced today.
Operation Clean Sweep, a global initiative practiced in over 60 countries around the world, is aimed at eliminating plastic pellet, flake and powder loss to the environment. The initiative has gained significant momentum since its launch in the Arabian Gulf by GPCA in December last year. Today the program is available to all plastics value network partners, including petrochemical producing companies, logistics service providers, ports and port authorities, plastic processors, environmental service providers, traders and sectors involved in the handling of plastic raw materials.
