Discover what our members are saying about our RAT:

With the complexities of pEPR and RAM, understanding packaging recyclability can be challenging. The Recyclability Assessment Tool (RAT) makes it easy – clear, intuitive, and accessible for anyone in the business to get the answers they need. It guides users step by step without overwhelming them. It delivers a clear report with comments that either suggest ways to improve recyclability.”

The OPRL Recyclability Assessment Tool allows us to check the recyclability of our packaging- and any packaging concept development, and to compare the relative cost of improving outcomes for recyclability.”

We have been involved with OPRL and similar labeling schemes in other regions for many years.  OPRL’s recyclability assessment tools is unique in the space.  I appreciate OPRL working to develop a tool that is not only simple and visually appealing, but that also accurately reflects the realities of recycling in the United Kingdom.
