Reporting packaging to FTI and the EPA

Reporting to the EPA

---

If your company is an obligated packaging producer, your company must be registered with the EPA. You also need to report your packaging volumes to them. We can take care of reporting free of charge for our customers. The only requirement is that you sign a supplementary agreement regarding reporting to the EPA. The agreement does not involve any additional costs.

If you have already signed the reporting contract, it will be saved under ‘My Documents’ on the customer portal. You also need to login to the customer portal no later than February each year and confirm the volumes to be transferred to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.

The EPA’s requirements

Reporting dates

---

You report to the EPA once per year. If you let us take care of your reporting, we will keep track of the date for you. For reporting to FTI, we send you reporting documentation every month, quarter or year, depending on the volume of your packaging materials.

 

Reporting periods

The main principles are as follows:

Annual reporting
A company whose packaging fees are less than SEK 20,000/calendar year reports in January, the month after a completed period (does not apply to service packaging which must be reported monthly or quarterly). Companies that are entitled to report annually pay an average of the packaging fee if the packaging fee for a specific type/specific types of packaging material has changed during the year.

Quarterly reporting
A company whose packaging fees are between SEK 20,000/calendar year and SEK 120,000/calendar year reports quarterly, the month after a completed quarter (i.e. April, July, October, and January) unless otherwise agreed.

Monthly reporting
A company whose packaging fees exceed SEK 120,000/calendar year reports monthly, after the end of the month.

FTI will notify via email, in good time before reporting deadline. The packaging must be reported to FTI no later than the 25th of the month after a completed reporting period.

 

Reporting deadlines and payment terms for FTI

Data is reported to us monthly, quarterly or annually, not later than the 25th day of the month after the end of the reporting period. Payment terms are 30 days after invoice date, and overdue reporting will be subject to a late fee in accordance with the applicable agreement. Late payments will be charged interest in accordance with the reference rate of the Swedish Interest Act.
