Operation Clean Sweep, together with members Dow, Viva Energy and Chemistry Australia, and NGO partner Tangaroa Blue Foundation, invite plastic industry members to join us for two clean-up events this October. These events bring together the global campaigns #PullingOurWeight and The Great Nurdle Hunt, highlighting the industry’s role in preventing plastic waste from entering our waterways and oceans.

Both events will feature guest speakers, a Nurdle Hunt, a general clean-up, and time for networking. The Sydney event will be co-hosted with the NSW Environment Protection Authority (NSW EPA).
Past clean-ups have seen fantastic participation from industry members, ARMA, PIPA, and the EPA. This year, we invite your team to be part of the effort once again. Together, we can identify sources of plastic pollution and resin pellet loss, and explore practical ways to reduce plastic feedstock escaping through industry supply chains.
Register your team by Wednesday 22 October by emailing with your chosen location and the number of participants.
We look forward to seeing you in Melbourne or Sydney – and encourage you to invite other industry colleagues to join these important events.
