  2. Recyclability Assessment Tool (RAT)

Will the RAT provide me with labelling artwork?

While our Labelling Tool allows our members to input information about their packaging – such as type, material composition, laminations or coatings, which help determine the appropriate OPRL label to use – the OPRL RAT takes it a step further.

The RAT provides a deeper analysis of the packaging’s recyclability and offers actionable advice on how to enhance it.

This is not only important for reducing environmental impact but also for saving costs.

The recyclability of packaging affects modulated fees under the Extended Producer Responsibility (pEPR) regulations, meaning that using more recyclable packaging can lead to lower fees.
