About Operation Clean Sweep

Operation Clean Sweep® is an international program designed to prevent resin pellet, flake, and powder loss and help keep this material out of the marine environment.

Every segment of the plastics industry has a role to play—including resin producers, transporters, recyclers and plastics processors—by implementing good housekeeping and pellet, flake, and powder containment practices.

Operation Clean Sweep has been adopted by plastics industries in more than 23 countries around the world.

The goal: achieving zero pellet, flake, and powder loss.

Operation Clean Sweep in New Zealand

Members of Plastics New Zealand do not want to see plastics of any kind in the marine environment. That’s why we are promoting Operation Clean Sweep to all plastics handling sites – material suppliers, manufacturers, and recyclers alike.

We encourage all parts of the industry to put in place practices to keep plastics out of the marine environment.

Plastics New Zealand is taking a proactive approach to helping member companies adopt best practices under this international programme.

To date 67 Plastics New Zealand member company sites have been audited and have adopted best practices to ensure they keep their plastics out of the marine environment.
