What is ZPC Engaged

ZPC Engaged is awarded to organizations that have:

  • Officially enrolled in the ZPC Certification Program, and Completed and submitted a validated Self-Assessment of their current plastic usage.

This phase does not require you to eliminate all plastics. Instead, it acknowledges your intent and commitment while giving you the time and guidance to develop your Plastic Reduction Plan (PRP).
