Operation Clean Sweep

VARIBOX Intermediate Bulk Containers are produced at locations that have embraced the Operation Clean Sweep (OCS) pledge. Producing most plastic products, including the VARIBOX, starts with pellets. These are small plastic granules made by raw material suppliers. Waste of such pellets can occur at all stages of the chain, including production, handling, transport, and recycling. To tackle the waste of plastic pellets, the Operation Clean Sweep® program has been launched.

Prevent pellet loss in the environment

VARIBOX is produced at locations that have embraced the Operation Clean Sweep® (OCS) pledge. With OCS, the plastics industry is committed to providing solutions to prevent marine litter. With the signing of the OCS promise, we recognize the importance of preventing plastic waste. In order to fulfill the 6 promises of this program, several measures have been taken.

The six promises of Operation Clean Sweep

Improve production design to prevent and tackle spills
Creating and publishing internal procedures to achieve zero loss of industrial plastic material
Ensure training and accountability of employees for spill prevention, containment, clean-up and removal
Regular performance audits
Comply with all applicable international and national regulations for the containment of industrial plastics
Encourage partners to pursue the same goals

The goal: Less plastic in the oceans

We know that plastics are essential: the safety offered by the VARIBOX is made possible by the strength and chemical resistance of our polyethylene products. Plastic can thus help protect and transport dangerous goods. We can responsibly enjoy these benefits and at the same time dispose of or recycle used plastics properly.
