The cycle of your company’s packaging
When your company belongs to a producer organisation and bears its statutory producer responsibility, it also supports circular economy, reduces litter in the environment and prevents climate change.
- Your company’s packaging continues its journey from Rinki ecopoints or residential collection containers to the producer organisations’ reception terminals.
- Waste is then transported to different material-specific processing plants in Finland and Europe.
- The material processed into raw materials continues its life in new products and packaging, for example.
