Plastic Litter & Environmental Enterprise
RPC bpi group take our responsibilities of this complex and significant global issue extremely seriously.
Plastic waste released into oceans, seas, lakes or waterways whether this act be deliberate or accidental creates marine litter.
Undesirable human behaviour and inadequate waste management practices are some of the issues that we help to address by being members of organisations such as the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and the British Plastics Federation . (BPF)
Furthermore, in an effort to minimise the impact of our operations on the environment, we engage in initiatives that create zero waste to landfill sites. Many of our sites have achieved this by using sustainable waste streams for all materials and products, segregating internal waste and always applying the adage ‘prevent, reduce, recycle, reuse’ approach.
Beyond this, we ensure plastic in the form of pellets is not littered. An example of this is the campaign entitled ‘Operation Clean Sweep’ of which RPC bpi group is a signatory. This initiative aims to reduce pellet loss to the environment from plastic conversion operations.
