The 2025 waste composition analyses show that almost a fifth, 18 percent, of the material that Näringslivets Producentansvar collects from the municipalities is missorted. This concerns packaging that is left in the wrong recycling bin, but also waste that is not packaging. Missorting deteriorates the quality of the material and can lead to less material being recycled.

The answer is that, for packaging to be considered suitable for high-quality material recycling, the materials must be easy to separate. Materials should not be mixed or contaminated by other material types and should preferably be made from mono-materials. Watch the film to learn what to consider when designing packaging for maximum material recycling.

There is now a digital training course that provides knowledge and concrete advice to get the sorting points in apartment buildings in order and create better conditions for residents to sort their waste correctly.

The recycling organisation Näringslivets Producentansvar has appointed Karolina Hagberg Chinell as its new Chief Executive Officer. Karolina most recently held the position of Purchasing Director at Ahlsell AB. She will assume her role as CEO on 17 August.

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.
