OCS Certification: We Are Operation Clean Sweep

Grupo Torrent has obtained the OCS (Operation Clean Sweep) Certification, which accredits us as a company responsible towards our environment and society, according to the AENOR organization.

The OCS (Operation Clean Sweep) program is a global industry initiative aimed at reducing the loss of pellets (primary microplastics).

What does obtaining the OCS certification imply?

As a part of the program, Torrent Group commits to implementing five main measures in its production processes:

• Prioritizing the goal of “zero granule loss” by reevaluating the entire production system.
• Raising employee awareness about the importance of being committed to such goals.
• Monitoring the success of this management through measurable indicators.
• Complying with applicable local and national regulations.
• Transforming the company into an advocate and promoter of the program’s benefits to its own suppliers, partners, and customers, in order to recruit more volunteers for the project.

Indeed, implementing OCS brings significant benefits to an organization.

Benefits of Implementing the Certification

Among the advantages of working within the framework of the OCS Certification, we highlight:

• Participating in voluntary initiatives on the subject.
• Reducing the impact of our production on the aquatic environment.
• Reducing material waste and maximizing the use of raw materials.
• Improving operational efficiency.
• Ensuring compliance with local and national regulations on granule control.
• Enhancing the reputation of Grupo Torrent and the plastics industry in general, which has been questioned in recent times.
