OCS Blue Members

All OCS Blue members are required to successfully complete OCS Blue Verification for a portion of facilities during each verification cycle. Browse below or consult the Guide to OCS Blue Verification to learn more about achieving OCS Blue Verification.

Verification Cycles

OCS Blue Verification will be administered in verification cycles that are three years in duration. Each verification cycle will start on January 1 of the first year and end on December 31 of the third year.

The first three verification cycles are as follows:

  • 2023-2025
  • 2026-2028
  • 2029-2031

Required Facilities for Each Verification Cycle

While OCS Blue members must implement OCS at 100% of all US-based plastic-handling facilities, only a subset are required to achieve OCS Blue Verification for each cycle.

Total Number of Facilities Facilities Required for Verification Cycle
1-20 Facilities 33%
21-50 Facilities 25%
51+ Facilities 20%

For more information on the percentage of facilities required to achieve OCS Blue Verification for each verification cycle, please consult the Guide to OCS Blue Verification.
