Support for
pellet handling operations to prevent plastic pellet loss to the environment
Plastic pellets, flakes and powders are the raw material used to make a vast range of products – including packaging, toys, medical devices, pipes and consumer goods.
But due to poor handling, transportation and management practices they can be spilt and lost to the environment … right across the supply chain.
What is PAS 510:2021?
PAS 510:2021 is the worlds first plastic pellet loss prevention standard. It sets out the requirements for the handling and management of pellets, flakes and powders throughout the supply chain – covering organisational responsibilities, leadership and commitment, training, risk assessment and operational controls.
It builds on the work (and success) of Operation Clean Sweep®, an international initiative from the plastics industry to reduce plastic pellet loss to the environment. Operation Clean Sweep requires companies to make a commitment to implement systems and good practice to prevent loss to the marine environment.
PAS 510 is a standardised approach to risk management and containment of plastic pellets and aims to help companies achieve and maintain zero loss across their pellet handling operations.
