KERTEH, Dec 9 (Bernama) — The Malaysian Plastics Manufacturers Association (MPMA) on 8 December 2022 launched the Operation Clean Sweep® (OCS) programme in the country to drive the local plastics industry and its stakeholders towards zero plastics resin loss into the environment.
Speaking at the launch event, MPMA Vice President Mr. CC Cheah highlighted the significance of this programme not just locally but globally. “The historic resolution at the United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA) 5.2 in March 2022 for the development of an internationally legally binding instrument to end plastic pollution demonstrated the commitment globally to ensure that mankind addresses the issue of plastics pollution urgently and effectively. With the OCS programme in place locally, it will further propel Malaysia’s commitment as a nation towards the global common goal of eradicating plastics pollution.”
