Operation Clean Sweep
Flair-Plastic proudly participates in Operation Clean Sweep (OCS), committing to the comprehensive elimination of resin pellet, flake, and powder loss in our operations.
This is a challenging objective, yet we are fully aware of the potential harm that plastics can inflict on the natural environment. Committed to responsible management, Flair-Plastic ensures thorough handling of resin pellets.
Implementing effective measures to eradicate pellet loss
A single kilogram of resin comprises approximately 40,000 pellets, and with Flair-Plastic utilizing around 30,000 tons of pellets annually, ensuring accountability for every pellet we use demands significant dedication.
One of our initial actions involved equipping every factory drain with steel mesh grids to block loose pellets from entering the aquatic ecosystem. We conduct weekly inspections of these drains to ensure they remain unobstructed. If a substantial amount of pellets is discovered, we promptly investigate to determine the source and implement corrective measures.
The Significance of Educational Initiatives and Workforce Training
Our commitment to minimizing pellet loss is applied consistently across all our production facilities. We’ve ensured that the relevant employees at each site are thoroughly trained to understand the importance of handling plastic resins responsibly. Furthermore, we extend this training to external contractors, including drivers and distributors, to guarantee that environmentally sound practices are adhered to throughout our entire value chain.
Extending Our Impact Beyond Manufacturing
Flair-Plastic’s dedication to sustainability extends beyond our manufacturing operations. We are devoted to enhancing sustainable practices throughout our entire supply chain, from the procurement of raw materials to the distribution of finished products. Our ongoing efforts focus on reducing material usage and energy consumption, enhancing recycling processes, and making a positive contribution to the communities in which we operate
