PACKAGING RECOVERY OBLIGATIONS MADE ECONOMICAL AND EASY

The Environmental Register of Packaging PYR Ltd operates in conjunction with the producer organisations for the packaging sector. It assists firms registered with the company and the authorities to fulfil the obligations pursuant to the EU packaging directive and corresponding Finnish legislation economically and easily.

By making a contract with PYR a firm transfers the recovery obligations for the packaging it has placed on the market to the producer organisations. The firm does not then have to take care of packaging recovery at its own costs or to report to the authorities on how it has arranged recovery. The producer organisations are responsible for the attainment of recovery targets.

Recovery is funded through recovery fees invoiced by PYR and deposited without deductions into the accounts of the producer organisations. PYR’s operations are funded through registration and annual fees paid by the registered firms. Both PYR and the producer organisations are non-profit organisations.
