Understanding packaging recyclability is more important than ever.

With the introduction of Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging (pEPR) your customers are going to have a lot of questions around the recyclability of the packaging you produce for them, and how this impacts their bottom line with the introduction of producer fees.

We can help you assess the recyclability of the packaging you produce, enabling you to share this vital information confidently with your customers.

To help you do this, we’ve developed a Recyclability Assessment Tool (RAT), exclusive to OPRL members, to give you that confidence and make the assessment process easier. You’ll be able to use the tool to assess your packaging without needing to wade through all the technical documentation.

The RAT considers all packaging details — from packaging type, materials, and size to weight, coatings, and laminations. It evaluates recyclability and gives actionable advice to help you reduce pEPR costs, as well as enhance environmental impact.

And with OPRL, you’ll have the support and guidance you need every step of the way.

So what’s next – It’s really pretty simple – just join OPRL! Or see below to find out what else OPRL can do for your business.
