The American Chemistry Council (ACC) and PLASTICS have worked together on a revitalized OCS program to strengthen ef-forts to educate and change behavior in the plastics industry with a goal of zero pellet, flake and powder loss. ACC and PLASTICS are strongly committed to this effort and are encouraging plastics companies to participate in the OCS program, which includes the practices and tools outlined in this manual. In addition, ACC and PLASTICS are encouraging companies to sign onto the Declaration for Solutions to Marine Litter, of which the OCS program is a key element. Only by working globally can industry help to affect the introduction of pellets, flakes and powder into the environment.
