Granola bag — outer film
Does the packaging contain dark or carbon black pigments?
💡 Dark pigments — especially carbon black — prevent near-infrared (NIR) sorting equipment at recycling facilities from identifying the plastic type. If the film appears black or very dark, select Yes.
Yes — the film contains dark or carbon black pigment
No — the film is clear, natural or light-coloured

RAM Rating Amber
Oat Milk 1L — Paper label
Paper  ·  Primary packaging  ·  Assessed 14 Mar 2026
Collection — kerbside collected ✓ Pass
Sortation — NIR detectable ✓ Pass
Sortation — label coverage < 60% ⚠ Borderline
Reprocessing — adhesive compatible ⚠ Amber trigger
Application — no heavy metals in ink ✓ Pass
Output quality — recyclate not downgraded ✓ Pass
Why Amber? The adhesive used on the label has not been certified as compatible with paper recycling. Switching to a water-soluble or low-tack adhesive could improve this to Green.

A clear rating — with the reasoning behind it

Every RAM assessment produces a Red, Amber or Green rating with a full breakdown of which criteria passed, which triggered the rating, and what could be changed to improve it. No black-box outcomes.

✓
Each criterion is shown individually so you understand exactly what drove the rating
✓
Actionable improvement suggestions tell you what to change to move to a better rating
✓
All results are timestamped and stored as audit evidence — ready for regulator review
