A fourth certification standard has been added to the Hub this month.<\/span><\/p>\n The <\/span>OBP Neutrality Subprogram<\/span><\/a> is part of the OBP Certification Program, created by the NGO Zero Plastic Oceans (ZPO), which focuses on reducing the amount of plastic waste that enters oceans. It is a market-based mechanism for financing the removal and treatment of non-commercially recyclable <\/span>OBP<\/span><\/a>, and is complementary to the <\/span>OBP Recycling Subprogram<\/span><\/a> that caters for the commercially recyclable portion of the OBP. Combined, both Subprograms ensure all Ocean Bound Plastic can be collected and managed following environmentally sound and fair-trade practises.<\/span><\/p>\n
