ZERO PELLET LOSS CERTIFICATION SCHEME PILOTED AT BOREALIS PRODUCTION LOCATIONS
- Borealis is first plastics producer to carry out third-party external audits for Operation Clean Sweep®, an international initiative aimed at preventing pellet loss
- Global stewardship certification programme brings entire plastics value chain together to achieve zero pellet loss
- Pilot audits took place in September at Borealis production locations in Kallo and Antwerp, Belgium
Borealis announces that it has carried out pilot audits at two production operations in Belgium to help test pellet loss prevention standards. The audits are the first to have been undertaken by a polyolefins producer for Operation Clean Sweep® (OCS), a global initiative dedicated to preventing pellet loss. This industry-led programme is currently establishing unified and equitable certification scheme for pellet handlers across the entire value chain. Successful pilot audits at Borealis are an important step in finalising the OCS certification programme, whose pan-European deployment is planned for 2022.
