The report to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency

At the end of January, the annual report to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency opens. You will receive a notification from us via email when it is time. A report, pre-filled with the information that you have reported to Näringslivets Producentansvar during 2024, will then be available in the customer portal. The report needs to be approved and submitted by the 24th of March.

Depending on the types of packaging your company has, the report to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency may need to be supplemented with more information before it is submitted.

 

Additional information to be entered by weight and specified per packaging material:

How much of the packaging is:

• Consumer packaging
  A packaging that, at the point of sale, constitutes a sales unit for the final user or consumer of the product. For example, the wrapper of a pack of chewing gum.

• Composite packaging
  A packaging made of two or more different materials that cannot be separated by hand. Report the individual materials by weight. Exceptions apply to materials that make up less than 5% of the total weight.

• Reusable packaging
  A reusable package is defined as a packaging designed, constructed, and placed on the market to be reused multiple times during its lifecycle. This is achieved by refilling or reusing it for the same purpose it was originally designed for.

  Specify the amount of reusable packaging that qualifies as consumer packaging.
