# What label should I use for my PP and PE plastic film?

There are a number specialist film labels available in the [Labelling Tool](https://www.oprl.org.uk/members/generate-label-artwork/recycling-labels/) which reflect the different ways this is collected and the different types of material collected. Please review our [Labelling Rules](https://oprl.org.uk/members-area/labelling-rules/) to ensure your flexible PP, PE or a mix of the two meets the thresholds for recycling with flexible plastics. 

As well as the 'Recycle with bags at large supermarket - don't recycle at home' version, you can select a label pointing your consumers to a recycling point or store instead. You will just need to answer the questions when you go onto the [labelling tool](https://www.oprl.org.uk/members/generate-label-artwork/recycling-labels/) to select the label you want.

**Remember that films made of any other plastic (such as PET) must be labelled 'Do not Recycle'.**
