Best-in-Class Quality and Compliance
Our unique business model of separate collection at the grassroots community level allows us to organise better first and secondary sortation, readying the material for pre-processing and best-in-class recycling. This creates a sorted bale at our owned collection centres that outperforms kerbside collection bales in every scientific measure once processed.

The Difference Is Clear.
Our team understands regulation. For nearly two decades we have been at the forefront of this ever-evolving space. Alongside our science-based testing, third-party audits, documented chain of custody, and expert staff, we have actively participated in discussions regarding the future of regulation. Most recently our Founder, Raffi Schieir, was invited to speak at the New Regulations on EU Plastic Recycling & Packaging conference in Amsterdam in 2025, alongside market-defining representatives from organisations such as RecyClass, PETCORE, and the European Commission.
We have refined our quality assurance system with third-party verification, meeting and exceeding all industry requirements. Additionally we have commissioned extensive testing, research and audits into our supply chain to ensure compliance to EU, UK and global industry legislation. Our proprietary testing programme, developed during dialogue with the Food Standards Agency in the UK, is uniquely able to provide science-based evidence demonstrating that our quality assurance system and input material outperforms kerbside collection inputs regarding the reduction of potential contamination, additives, and non-intentionally added substances. Our compliance is best-in-class.
Our testing and audit protocols include but are not limited to:
– Food Safety (Non-Intentionally Added Substances) Analysis
– EU Pharmacopoeia 3.1.15. Testing
– Substances of Very High Concern Testing
– Migration Modelling
– Analytical Risk Assessments
– Production Trials
– Documented Chain of Custody Verification
– Bottle Type Assessments
– Batch-by-Batch Quality Controls
– Audit Protocol Compliance
– Quality Assurance System Compliance
This work has been carried out by leading third-party laboratories and organisations, including contributions from:
– University of Zaragoza Institute
– Ex-Director of Petcore & invited expert on Food Safety for DG Sante
– Leading plastics processors
– Intertek Group PLC
– Blue Frog Scientific
– PETkoncept Polymer Consulting
– The world’s leading supplier of machinery for food safe applications
– Global Product Stewards from some of the world’s largest multinational corporations.
– Senior Regulatory Advisor at RINA
– Relevant Competent Authorities
– Senior Advisor in Social Impact at Control Union
Our programme and processes have also been successfully vetted and endorsed by multiple institutions, including financial support from government agencies, NGOs, financial institutions, multinational corporations and green investment funds.
While the scientific results of our efforts are valuable and confidential, we invite requests for evidence to demonstrate our best-in-class quality and compliance. We will make every endeavour to provide you with exactly what you need. Please contact via email to team@preventedoceanplastic.com addressed to our Information Manager, Natasha Ward.
