Helena Nylén, CEO of the recycling company Näringslivets Producentansvar, has decided to hand over the role to a new CEO, with the transition planned for autumn 2026. During her five years as CEO, she has led the transformation from Förpacknings- och tidningsinsamlingen (FTI) to Näringslivets Producentansvar (NPA) and laid the foundation for an entirely new business model within Sweden’s reformed extended producer responsibility system.

Näringslivets Producentansvar (NPA) is today presenting 19 reform proposals across five areas to increase the material recycling of packaging in Sweden.

Once a year, as a producer, you must report your packaging volumes to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). As a member of Näringslivets Producentansvar, you can do this via our customer portal.

NPA wants Sweden’s plastic levy to the EU to decrease. Therefore, we also want to nuance the picture of the proposal put forward by Avfall Sverige and Fastighetsägarna in an opinion piece in Dagens Industri on 5 December.

New forecasts indicate a continued lower cost development in 2026 than previously estimated. Therefore, Näringslivets Producentansvar (NPA) has decided to reduce the announced packaging fees for 2026 by a total of 270 million SEK.
