The best way to find out if your empty packaging can be recycled or not is to look at the On-Pack Recycling Labels aka OPRLs. OPRLs tell consumers the recyclability of each individual component of the packaging and any special instructions.

Congratulations Danone SA- for the judges special mention at the Best Recycled Product Awards 2021. It is partly thanks to this initiative, that schools have begun to see the value of recycling first-hand. Pupils were encouraged to bring their clean yogurt tubs and other domestic packaging waste to school which would be used to produce these desks for under privileged schools. The smooth and glossy top adds value to their strong and stunning looking desk.
