Driving sustainability in plastics: Join OCS CON 2025
This October, the Plastics Industry Association (PLASTICS) will once again bring industry together for a powerful demonstration of its commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. Hosted by Operation Clean Sweep (OCS) and administered by PLASTICS and the American Chemistry Council, the annual OCS CON — the premier event focused on eliminating plastic resin loss — will take place Oct. 15–17 in Indianapolis.
What is OCS CON?
More than just a conference, OCS CON is a catalyst for change. This event brings together leaders from across the plastic value chain to collaborate on real-world strategies and take part in hands-on sessions, tours and demonstrations aimed at keeping plastic in the circular economy and out of the environment. From cutting-edge technology demos to deep-dive master classes, facility tours and expert panels, OCS CON delivers real tools and insights that help businesses move the needle on sustainability.
“At OCS CON, the focus shifts from discussion to execution, translating the goal for zero plastic resin loss into tangible, impactful solutions,” said Patrick Krieger, PLASTICS’ senior VP of sustainability and policy.
“It brings together manufacturers, transporters, suppliers and sustainability leaders to improve upon a key component of our shared stewardship responsibilities: resin loss. Through pre-competitive collaboration, innovative technologies and actionable solutions, we’re not only protecting the environment — we’re redefining what responsible plastic stewardship looks like,” he said. “As sustainability shifts from aspiration to bottom-line expectation, OCS CON gives us the platform and insight to lead with purpose.”
