1. Our Commitment to Accessibility
At Origo Packaging, we are committed to ensuring that our website, www.origopackaging.co.uk, is accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities.

This Accessibility Statement outlines the steps we have taken and continue to take to make our website accessible in accordance with the Equality Act 2010 and the Public Sector Bodies (Websites and Mobile Applications) (No. 2) Accessibility Regulations 2018, as well as best practices aligned with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.
