Price lists
A company pays the material-specific recycling fees determined by the producer organisations of its choice which Rinki invoices from the producers and deposits with the producer organisations. In addition to the recycling fees the company has in 2023 paid a one-off RINKI joining fee and an annual customer fee, that RINKI has invoiced with authorisation from the producer organisations. This changes from beginning of 2024.
The recycling fees and customer fee for packaging are based on the price list and the packaging volumes used in the previous year by the company, that it reports to Rinki.
The recycling fees charged by Rinki cover the recycling of packaging placed on the Finnish market by the company and the recycling of consumer packaging in Finland. The collection of packaging waste from the company’s premises is not included in these fees.
The recycling fees cover:
- The network of terminals for packaging waste from companies and for household packaging waste.
- Transport of the material from the terminal to the processing plant
- Recycling into new products or into raw material for new products
If a company’s material-specific recycling fee exceeds EUR 10,000, Rinki will invoice it in two equal instalments so that the second invoice is due 120 days after the first, but not later than 31 October. VAT is added to the fees.
We are a non-profit company
Did you know that Rinki and the producer organisations work on a non-profit basis? The fees paid by companies with producer responsibility go directly to the recycling operations.
Price lists
The prices applicable in 2023 are determined according to the pricelist of the producer orgnaisation with which the company has a contract. In addition, the company pays a one-off RINKI registration fee as well as an annual customer fee.

For the sake of comparison the price list of 2023 include the 2022 recycling fees. The 2022 prices are the recycling fees of the material-specific producer organisations.
