How to report your packaging


In our customer portal you will find flexible and efficient processes and systems for reporting.

Criteria for differentiated packaging fees


Differentiated packaging fees is a means to steer development toward increased material recyclability.

Differentiated fees mean a lower fee for a packaging designed for material recycling compared to a packaging that is difficult to recycle. A packaging designed to become new raw material should benefit from the revenue it generates after sorting and recycling.

Current criteria from April 1, 2025 
Reporting categories and criteria for differentiated fees

Previous criteria from January 1, 2025 
Plastic packaging for Private use and Other than private use
Paper packaging for Private use
Paper packaging for Other than private use

 

 

The difference between Private use and Other than private use


When reporting, you need to distinguish between packaging intended for private use and packaging that is not. In the ordinance on producer responsibility for packaging, Chapter 8, Section 2, the following definition serves as the basis for reporting packaging for private use:

”In this chapter, packaging intended for private use refers to packaging normally used by private individuals or intended for use by both private individuals and businesses.”

An example of packaging considered intended for private use is a one-liter milk carton. Whether the milk carton is purchased and used by employees at a company or used by private individuals, it is considered packaging intended for private use. However, a larger milk carton (e.g., 10 liters) is not considered packaging intended for private use. This is because it is assumed to be intended for use by a business (e.g., in large kitchens or other restaurant operations) and not by private individuals.

 

 

Reporting categories and article numbers


Our packaging fees have three levels and reflect the recyclability of the packaging.

✔ Green fee level, Compatible with material recycling
Packaging designs that are fully compatible with material recycling. Contributes to high recyclability and reduced quality loss in the recycling process.

✔  Yellow fee level, Limited compatibility with material recycling
Packaging designs that are partially compatible with material recycling. Contributes to limited recyclability and some quality loss in the recycling process.

✖ Red fee level, Not compatible with material recycling
Packaging designs that are not compatible with material recycling. Contributes to low or no recyclability and significant quality loss in the recycling process.

What applies for service packaging?


A service packaging is a packaging that is filled at the point of sale. To avoid a situation where all stores, catering services, restaurants, pizzerias, hot dog stands, pastry shops, laundries, growers, berry pickers, egg producers, etc. have producer responsibility for filling a packaging, the responsibility lies with the person who manufactures or imports the packaging itself.
