Davis-Standard achieves Operation Clean Sweep certification

Davis-Standard, a specialist in extrusion and converting technologies, has achieved Operation Clean Sweep (OCS) certification, becoming the first OEM in its field to earn this distinction.

OCS is an international program designed to help plastics-industry companies implement good housekeeping and pellet-containment practices. By achieving OCS certification, Davis-Standard joins a growing list of companies committed to reducing plastic pollution in waterways and communities.

‘Our facilities in Fulton, NY, and Pawcatuck, CT, are blessed with natural beauty and proximity to vital waterways and the ocean,’ said Giovanni Spitale, CEO of Davis-Standard. ‘This underscores our responsibility to protect these resources and is why Operation Clean Sweep certification is so important to us.’

This OCS achievement builds on Davis-Standard's environmental responsibility and its 2025 sustainability commitments. The company's North American facilities are now powered by carbon-free electricity, and its Maillefer division received a Silver EcoVadis rating for its sustainability efforts in Finland. Moreover, numerous Davis-Standard facilities maintain ISO-14001 certification for their environmental management systems, with only one remaining to achieve the certification.
