The Ocean Bound Plastic (OBP) is plastic waste defined as “at risk of ending up in the sea”. It is estimated that OBP makes up 80% of marine refuse. The Ocean Bound Plastic Certification Program has been created to encourage the removal of this waste from within 50 km of the coasts, thus preventing it from ending up in the sea.
Zero Plastic Oceans is the ONG which has created the Ocean Bound Plastic certification, which identifies plastic waste and plastic that has been properly handled, providing a complete and transparent vision of the how waste ends up.
