What is the On-Pack Recycling Label (OPRL) scheme in the UK?

The On-Pack Recycling Label (OPRL) is the UK's standardized, recognized recycling label system displayed on retail packaging:

### Standard OPRL Labels:
1. Recycle (Circular Arrow): Packaging collected by at least 75% of UK local councils at kerbside (e.g. clean cardboard, paper boxes).
2. Recycle with Bags at Large Supermarket: Applied to flexible PE plastics and mailer films collected at supermarket drop-off points.
3. Do Not Recycle: Items collected by fewer than 50% of local councils or multi-layer non-separable materials.

### Why Add OPRL Icons to Your Boxes:

• Eliminates consumer confusion at the recycling bin.


• Demonstrates transparent environmental compliance under UK Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) guidelines.
