BST Detectable Products Joins Forces with Big Blue Ocean Cleanup to Fight Plastic Pollution

In a powerful step towards environmental responsibility, BST Detectable Products, a leading manufacturer of metal detectable and x-ray visible food-safe plastic products, has announced its support for Big Blue Ocean Cleanup as part of its 40th-anniversary celebrations.

For four decades, BST has been at the forefront of food safety innovation, supplying the food industry with detectable plastic items designed to prevent contamination. But now, they’re expanding their commitment beyond food safety—towards cleaning up our oceans and protecting marine life.

A Mission to Reduce Plastic Waste

BST Detectable Products already champions sustainability through its recycling scheme, where they collect and reprocess unused, broken, or end-of-life products to minimize plastic waste. Their latest initiative, however, takes this commitment even further by raising funds for ocean conservation and plastic cleanup efforts.

What started as a one-off fundraiser could become an annual tradition, turning BST’s team-building efforts into a force for good. “We’re excited to take this step in supporting a cleaner, healthier planet,” says Annicka Webb, Marketing Manager at BST.

By supporting Big Blue Ocean Cleanup, BST is reinforcing its commitment not just to food safety, but to a sustainable future where plastic pollution is actively tackled at every stage—from food production to environmental conservation.
