Plastics industry urges reevalution of South Africa's On-Pack Recycling Labels (OPRLs)
Publish date: 2024-11-05
The implementation of On-Pack Recycling Labels (OPRLs) in South Africa was envisioned as a pivotal move to enhance consumer comprehension of packaging recyclability. Introduced in 2019 with support from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), these guidelines aimed to deliver uniform, clear instructions on managing packaging waste.
"This streamlined communication was intended to facilitate proper disposal of packaging and boost recycling rates nationwide. Each component of the packaging is covered by the labels, aiming to eliminate confusion and simplify recycling decisions," Annabe Pretorius, Executive: Technical Operations at Plastics SA states.
