Prevention, Containment and Cleanup Procedures

There are many steps involved in the movement of plastic pellets from the resin production facility, through the distribution network, to the processor. Spills and pellet loss to the environment can occur at any step. The procedures in this section provide best practices for each handling step. Making employees aware of and holding them accountable for these prevention, containment, cleanup and disposal procedures, is the way to zero pellet loss.
