Estonian Recovery Organization (ERO) is a non-profit
organization. It finances its activities by recovery fee. Once a company
concludes a Client Contract, it has a right to attach the Green Dot to
packaging circling in the ERO system. In compliance with the user-pays
principle, the recovery fees are calculated on the basis of the material used,
the weight of items sold. They also take account of the different costs
incurred for collecting and sorting the packaging materials and, in the case of
plastics, for recycling. The companies pay only for those items of packaging
they put on to the Estonian market.
