Legal basis

According to the "Ordinance of Producers' responsibilities for packaging" all companies that produce, import, or sell packaged goods on the Swedish market are, by law, an obligated packaging producer and have, through a producer responsibility organization, a financial responsibility to ensure that the packaging is collected and recycled. The main purpose of the producer responsibility is to reduce littering, reduce the amount of waste and to ensure that the waste that does occur is recycled and used for new products. Under the same regulations, both households and businesses are required to sort their waste and separately drop-off used packaging for recycling.
