IPG, also known as “nurdles”, are small plastic beads used as a raw material in the manufacture of various plastic products. However, their dispersion in the environment can have serious ecological consequences. This is why IPG loss prevention audits have become essential to ensure sustainable, environmentally-friendly plastic production. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding the risks of IPG losses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Losses of IPG can occur at several stages in the supply chain, from production through storage and transport to end use. These small plastic beads have the ability to disperse easily in the environment, including waterways, soils and marine ecosystems. Once in the environment, granules can have worrying effects on flora and fauna, via ingestion or very slow decomposition for example. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Importance of the IPG loss prevention audit<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

IPG loss prevention audits are systematic assessments of the practices and processes implemented by companies in the plastics industry to prevent granules leaking into the environment. These audits aim to identify weak points in the supply chain and recommend corrective measures to minimize the risk of IPG dispersion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recommended preventive measures<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several preventive measures can be implemented to reduce IPG losses:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
