The EU is currently discussing the harmonisation of packaging labelling, with the aim of making it easier for consumers to sort their waste correctly. Unfortunately, the proposal risks being both costly and counterproductive – potentially leading to more waste.

The product “Hockeypulver” was introduced to Grahns Konfektyr’s range back in the 1980s. By switching the pot from black to white plastic, they have ensured the packaging can be recycled – without having to make major investments.

The procurement concerns the transportation of paper, plastic and metal packaging from the municipalities' transfer stations (OLS) to the NPA's reception facilities (MOA).

The new series of standards for the recycling of plastic packaging is now available, although practical application will not begin until 2030. Our materials specialists, Love Pallon and Einar Ahlström, have participated in the Swedish standardisation work within a SIS expert group.

The Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) affects the entire packaging industry. When it comes to recyclable packaging, there is a lot that producers and manufacturers must take into account, before 2030. Even though the legislation is not yet fully finalised, the transition must begin now. Näringslivets Producentansvar, together with six other producer responsibility organisations in Europe, is therefore launching a joint guide to safe design choices for plastic packaging, supporting producers in their packaging design decisions.

Näringslivets Producentansvar has submitted proposals to the Government Offices to improve quality, increase collection rates and ensure that more producers take responsibility for packaging waste.
