For this reason, our labels and the work we do is underpinned by research. Our ‘What Consumers Want’ report draws on seven major pieces of consumer insight taken from a study with over 5,000 UK consumers in Spring 2023, undertaken for OPRL Ltd by Tangible Branding, a consumer research company.
This survey gathers insights into consumer attitudes to recycling, barriers to action and how labelling helps to overcome these challenges. Click the below button to access the full report.

Overwhelmingly, people want to ‘do their bit’ for the planet, their communities and future generations.
People need help to turn their good intentions into the right actions. But wanting to act responsibly and feeling equipped to make the right decision on every piece of packaging are very different things.
