ARE YOU COMPLIANT TO THE EXTENDED PRODUCER RESPONSIBILITY IN SWEDEN?

Information about producer responsibility for packaging in Sweden

Within the EU companies who sell packaged products are affected by the Extended Producers Responsibility. So also in Sweden. If your company brings packaging into the Swedish market, you are an obligated packaging producer and must ensure that the packaging is collected and recycled. Producer responsibility is a statutory obligation, and you need to register with the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency before putting products on the Swedish market.

 

Your company has producer responsibility if you:

  • Fill or otherwise use a package (to protect, present or facilitate the handling and transport of an item) in Sweden
  • Bring a packaged item to Sweden
  • Manufacture a package in Sweden (service packaging)
  • Bring a package to Sweden (service packaging)
  • From a country other than Sweden, sell a packaged product or a package to an end user in Sweden (this definition took effect from 1 January 2023)
