We’re proud to be the only organisation providing recycling labels featuring the trusted ‘Recycle Now’ swoosh – the UK’s most recognised and impactful recycling label.
Our straightforward labels from ‘Recycle’ and ‘Do Not Recycle’ to our specialist labels for more complex packaging, make it easy to communicate clear guidance to consumers. We also offer a range of refill labels to support sustainable practices.
OPRL members can access everything they need, such as detailed labelling rules, tools, and label downloads, right from our dedicated Members’ Area.
OPRL members enjoy exclusive access to our suite of easy-to-use tools designed to make recycling compliance a breeze.
Our Members’ Area hosts a range of resources, from our labelling tool to how-to videos and webinar recordings, all designed to help you get the most from your membership. And now, we’re excited to introduce our brand-new Recyclability Assessment Tool (RAT) to support your sustainability goals even further!

We’re proud to collaborate with a wide range of industry bodies, ensuring your voice is heard in the conversations that matter most. With a respected seat at the table, we advocate on your behalf and keep you in the loop with the latest industry news and updates. Together, we’re shaping the future of recycling and packaging—so you’re always one step ahead.
Ensuring compliance is a vital part of the OPRL scheme—it’s how we maintain clear, consistent, and trustworthy recycling and refill information for consumers. After your first year as a member, we’ll ask you to share samples of your packaging artwork for review. Our audit team will take a closer look at how you’re using the labels and whether they meet our standards, as well as supporting you with updating any major non-compliances.
In addition to our core labelling system, we offer additional products and services which provide support and guidance to our members. And they are evolving. Our Certified as Recyclable service, exclusively available to our members, enables technical assessments to be made on packaging which is new to the market and has not been previously assessed.
Membership is available to all companies, from start-ups to major corporations. Members get exclusive access to our tools and support as well as the use of our widely recognised recycling labels on their packaging.
