If you produce or supply packaging,your customers are facing a challenge

Under the new Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging (pEPR) system, all obligated producers will pay a fee for the packaging they place on the UK market. These fees will be modulated; for example, those who use unrecyclable packaging will be required to pay higher fees than those using recyclable packaging, which should provide an incentive to achieve increased recycling. However, many brands and retailers don’t know if their packaging is recyclable or not.

That’s where you come in.

By keeping up to date with the latest recycling guidance and understanding what your products are really made of you can save customers time and money.

It might sound complicated but it’s really pretty simple – just join OPRL

Our team and tools

We provide support to those within the packaging supply chain with expertise and guidance on recyclability of their materials and packaging. This could be to put labels on pack, or the assurance that the recyclability information they are supplying to customers is accurate.

Our directory

Plus, our packaging suppliers can add themselves to our Packaging Supplier Directory giving them the ability to promote their packaging to over 800 retailer and brand members.

Our communications

Members also get access to helpful resources, such as videos and webinars, as well as access to a ‘Member of OPRL’ logo to use on communications.

Keeping you connected

As an independent organisation with nearly 15 years in the packaging industry, we’ve developed connections with organisations across the industry. We’re at the forefront of the Government discussions around EPR and other packaging legislations.

Sound good?

Don’t just take our word for it…
