We can help your company develop circular packaging and comply with your legal obligations as a producer. We do this with innovative solutions and knowledge, and by monitoring regulatory requirements.
The new regulation on producer responsibility for packaging places new and higher demands on producers, with the aim of achieving a higher degree of material recycling. In order to meet the development, FTI’s operations and expertise regarding producer responsibility will be transferred to the newly formed company Näringslivets Producentansvar. For producers who are currently affiliated to FTI, the goal is a smooth transition to Näringslivets Producentansvar.
All companies that place packaging on the Swedish market are obligated packaging producers. That means that your company has a statutory obligation to keep track of certain things. We can help you.
Our assignment is to help Sweden recycle more. We are not profit-driven – we are driven by a conviction that Sweden can be the best recycling country in the world. We train and inspire consumers to recycle more, help companies and municipalities become more sustainable, and support property owners who want to make it easier for tenants to separate their waste.
If you run a café, restaurant, store, office, construction company or any other type of business, you are responsible for your waste and for sorting your used packaging.
Our collection scheme is dependent on all of the professional contractors who help us to collect, transport and process your packaging. The recycling stations also have to be kept clean and tidy.
When packaging is recyclable, milk cartons, shampoo bottles, sardine cans and bottles are given a new lease of life. Your company plays a key role.
Your company has producer responsibility if you:
Clear labels on packaging make it easier for consumers sort packaging for recycling. Our labeling system makes it easy because the same symbols are used at recycling stations, recycling centers and in recycling rooms. Incorrectly sorted waste compromises the quality of the material, which could mean that the facility won’t accept it and it will have to be incinerated instead of recycled.
Producer responsibility is a statutory obligation. Producer responsibility is based on the Polluter Pays Principle (PPP). The Swedish packaging collection and recycling scheme is based on producer responsibility. The basic idea behind producer responsibility is to reduce the amount of waste, but also to ensure that any waste that is generated is recycled and used to make new products.
