Collaboration to step up sustainable development of petrochemical and chemical industries in Gulf region
The Gulf Petrochemicals and Chemicals Association (GPCA), the voice of chemical industry in Arabian Gulf, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the GCC Accreditation Center (GAC) to collaborate in conformity assessment and accreditation, and develop sustainable petrochemical and chemical solutions.
GPCA and GAC signed MoU on conformity assessment collaboration and sustainable solutions development.
The MoU will establish a framework that aims to improve efficiency of conformity assessment processes in the region and ensure chemical and petrochemical products and processes meet specified standards and regulations.
It also aimed at streamlining accreditation procedures, fostering conformity across various certification activities and establishing a robust quality infrastructure within the GCC region.
In addition, the MoU highlights a shared commitment by both GPCA and GAC to combatting plastic waste. The agreement will involve the adoption of an efficient plastic pellets, flakes and powder management scheme to address plastic material leakage and protect marine environments, fostering a sustainable and circular plastic economy.
