RAM One Page Material Guidance Notes
The one-page material guidance notes are a series of infographic-style cards that summarise each of the material categories and their red, amber and green ratings.
We understand that large guidance documents can be difficult to process, so this resource has been created to present key information from the RAM guidance in an accessible way and help producers approach their RAM assessments with increased confidence.
The one-pagers are clearly marked by material type, so producers can easily scroll through to the graphics relevant to their packaging.

A colourblind-friendly version of the graphics is also available, to ensure accessibility for all users.

The supplementary guidance is designed to support producers in completing their RAM assessments by providing additional insights on particular elements of the RAM, along with technical specifications and practical examples.
It covers details on the materials categories in the RAM and the Stages of Recyclability, as well as information on testing, compliance and general principles and applicability.
