OPRL Supports WasteAid in the Big Give Christmas Challenge 2025
The festive season is a time for generosity and meaningful action and at OPRL, giving back has always been part of our culture. In recent years, we’ve supported local toy drive charities to bring joy to families across the UK.
For Christmas 2025, we’re proud to take our seasonal giving in a new direction. One that aligns even more closely with our mission to create a world where packaging doesn’t go to waste.
This year, OPRL supports WasteAid by backing their involvement in the Big Give Christmas Challenge, and we’re encouraging our friends and partners across the industry to get behind this important initiative.
Why OPRL Supports WasteAid in 2025
WasteAid is an international organisation dedicated to strengthening waste management and recycling infrastructure in communities that need it most. Their practical, locally led programmes help reduce pollution, support public health, create green jobs, and build climate resilience.
Their mission strongly echoes our own commitment to responsible resource use and circularity. By supporting WasteAid, we can extend our impact beyond packaging guidance and recycling here in the UK to communities around the world where waste systems are underdeveloped.
About the Big Give Christmas Challenge
The Big Give Christmas Challenge is the UK’s largest match-funding campaign. For one week only, donations to participating charities are doubled, enabling supporters to make twice the impact without spending more.
By joining the challenge, WasteAid can unlock essential funding to:
- Train recycling and waste-management entrepreneurs
- Keep plastic out of waterways and oceans
- Turn waste materials into valuable local resources
- Build long-term, sustainable circular economies
This is why OPRL is supporting WasteAid this festive season, because every matched donation helps drive meaningful, measurable environmental change.
How You Can Get Involved
We’re calling on our members, partners, colleagues, and friends across the packaging and recycling sectors to support WasteAid during the Big Give Christmas Challenge. Whether you donate, help spread the word, or share the campaign with your networks, your contribution will help build a future where no community is held back by waste.
We can make a real difference this festive season, join us in supporting WasteAid for Christmas 2025 and help create a world where packaging doesn’t go to waste.
