海洋回收塑料认证

OBP通常指趋海塑料（Ocean Bound Plastic）。它是指位于距离海岸50公里以内、未被有效管理或管理效率低下的塑料废弃物，包括微塑料、中塑料和大塑料。这些废弃物可能通过河流、潮汐等途径最终流入海洋。

OBP塑料的危害巨大。流入海洋易被生物误食、缠绕，威胁生命，经食物链危及人类健康。

OBP认证由非营利组织Zero Plastic Oceans提出，旨在通过认证和回收计划，防止那些未被有效回收或管理、最终可能进入海洋的废弃塑料流入海洋，并推动循环经济的发展。这些塑料通常位于距离海岸线50公里范围内，由于缺乏有效的回收系统或管理措施，极有可能通过河流、风力或其他途径进入海洋。

While the current compliance-focused approach has played a significant role improving social and labor conditions over the past two decades, it has also led to a proliferation of audits. Manufacturers, brands and other stakeholders are ready to move away from endless audits to investments which truly make a difference. It is time to think differently together. Change begins here.

SLCP believe that they can improve working conditions by joining forces: one single assessment for all, more resources and improvements for everyone. That is why SLCP have created a Converged Assessment Framework that supports stakeholders’ efforts to improve working conditions in global supply chains.

This program will help the industry to:

• Eliminate audit fatigue: avoid duplication and reduce the number of social & labor audits, by replacing current proprietary assessment tools
• Increase the opportunity for greater comparability of social & labor data
• Redeploy resources to improvement actions

This includes the application process, providing training, and implementation of Quality Assurance (QA) processes and procedures. Service providers who wish to provide SLCP verification to facilities must be completed the application and training process through SLCP online.

GCL are delighted to announce the approval as SLCP Verification Body (VB) for facilities verification
