How companies meet the requirements

To meet the manufacturer responsibility requirements for packaging, companies must follow these steps:

  1. Become a member of a collective scheme
    As of January 1, 2025, it is mandatory for companies to be members of a collective scheme that handles reporting, reporting and payment on their behalf.
  2. Register your business
    Companies subject to producer responsibility must register in the producer responsibility register and ensure proper reporting of the packaging they make available on the market.
  3. Report the quantity and type of packaging
    It is important to report accurate data on how much and what type of packaging the company uses. This is used to calculate contributions to recycling and waste management.
  4. Pay fees for recycling
    Companies will have to pay fees based on the quantity and type of packaging. These funds go to fund collection and recycling.
  5. Monitor and document continuously
    It is a good idea to have internal processes for monitoring and documenting packaging use so that the company can always fulfill its obligations correctly.
