Progressive Plastics Achieves OCS NZ Re-Certification

Congratulations to Progressive Plastics on successfully passing their Operation Clean Sweep New Zealand (OCS NZ) audit.

This re-certification reflects Progressive Plastics’ ongoing commitment to preventing plastic pellets, flakes, and powders from entering Aotearoa New Zealand’s waterways and oceans - turning intention into measurable action.

Every site audited through the OCS NZ programme is assessed against the standards outlined in the OCS NZ Guide, with certification awarded only once those standards are fully met. From repairing damaged drain covers and strengthening spill-response procedures, to enhancing staff training and refining operational systems, the focus is on practical improvements that make a real difference.

This is meaningful progress backed by genuine commitment.

A big thank you to Neville Chisholm and the Progressive Plastics team for continuing to raise the bar. It’s not always easy work - but it’s vital for building a cleaner, more responsible plastics industry.
