REPA

According to the law "Ordinance of Producers' responsibilities for packaging" all companies that produce, import or sell packaged goods are subject to a number of obligations.

The company shall:
• ensure that a collection system exists, through which customers and other end consumers can return used packaging
• ensure that customers receive the information they need about the collection of used packaging
• ensure that collected packaging is recovered, recycled and put to good use as either new raw material or energy.

To resolve our responsibilities as a producer we are affiliated with REPA.
REPA:s role is to provide all companies with access to the nationwide recycling system, which is designed to simply and efficiently meet producer obligations.
This entitles us to use the "Green Dot" symbol. This symbol is used in a large number of European countries as proof that a company meets its obligations as a producer.
