PRODUCER ORGANISATIONS ORGANISE RECOVERY

Producer organisations organise the recovery of packaging so that Finland attains the recovery targets agreed upon with the EU. The producer organisations are legally competent as prescribed by law and non-profit organisations. Each packaging material has its own producer organisation, whose operations are funded through material-specific recovery fees.

The founder and often the owner of producer organisations comprises the entire packaging chain: the packaging industry, packers, importers, retailers and wholesalers, manufacturers of packaging raw materials and packaging waste recovery firms.
