Reporting to the Swedish EPA for 2025
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.
The packaging report for Q4 and the month of December is now open. The last day to submit your report is January 25.
Once you have submitted your report for the final period of 2025, you will also be able to approve the annual report to the Swedish EPA in our customer portal. The report is pre-filled with the packaging volumes you have reported to us throughout the year. By March 24 at the latest, you need to log in to the customer portal, review the report, and approve the volumes that will be forwarded to the Swedish EPA.
Depending on the types of packaging your company uses, you may need to supplement the information in the report with additional details. Read more here >
