Why do I need to be audited?

The OPRL scheme aims to provide simple, consistent, and evidence led information to make it easy for consumers to recycle more packaging. The auditing process assesses the packaging materials used against the recycling logos on the packaging to ensure that the instruction to consumers is accurate. It also provides credibility and trust in the scheme and helps ensure that members are using the rules consistently and using the correct version of the rules.

As per the terms and conditions of membership, all OPRL members who place their own brand packaging on the market will be audited.
