OCS Verification brings rigor and the highest level of credibility and transparency to a company’s resin loss prevention efforts. A requirement of OCS Blue and OCS Logistics membership, independent facility-level inspections confirm implementation of required management practices and continued progress toward the goal of zero resin loss.
Why Verification Matters
Through independent inspections, facilities demonstrate that resin loss prevention practices are being actively implemented – reinforcing the rigor of the program and supporting progress toward the shared goal of zero resin loss.
A Rigorious, Independent Review
During the verification inspection, trained third-party verifiers assess facility practices, documentation, and operational controls related to resin handling. This structured review confirms practices to prevent resin loss are in place and identifies opportunities to strengthen resin handling.
Strengthen Transparency
Facilities that successfully complete verification are publicly recognized through the OCS Verified Facility Registry. This recognition signals to customers, partners, and peers that your company has successfully demonstrated 25+ strategies to prevent resin loss have been implemented.
Increased Internal Alignment
Verification confirms that commitments made through the OCS Pledge are reflected in day-to-day operations. The process helps ensure teams across the facility are aligned around consistent procedures for preventing resin loss.

Daniel Montgomery
I was truly amazed by the employee participation in the OCS Verification Program. Employees realized not only the environmental impact but also the impact the system was having on the work environment. Employees were offering improvement proposals that added to the overall improvement of the plant resin control processes, which made the OCS Verification Program a real value-added program for the plant.
