Made from Recycled Material
Not a bin instructionTells you what it's MADE from, not whether you can recycle it. Look for an OPRL label.
Which bin?
This tells you what it's made from, not which bin. Check for an OPRL label.
What does it mean?
When you see the Möbius Loop (chasing arrows) with a percentage inside or next to it — like "Made from 100% Recycled Plastic" — that's telling you about the packaging's origin, not its destination. It means X% of the material came from recycled sources, which is good, but it doesn't tell you whether YOUR council will recycle it again. A bottle made from 100% recycled plastic is probably recyclable, but the label itself isn't confirming that. Always check for an OPRL label for the actual bin instruction.
