Sorting instructions for plastic packaging

Please sort

household empty plastic packaging:

  • plastic food packaging
  • detergent packaging
  • other household plastic packaging, bottles and jars
  • plastic bags, pouches and wrappers
  • styrofoam packaging and other plastic fillers

Place caps, lids, pump parts and similar items that can be easily removed by hand in the collection container separately.

Recycle deposit plastic bottles using a reverse vending machine at a shop.

If a plastic container has residues of hazardous or pressurised substances (e.g. paint, chemicals, oil, medicines, hairspray), take the comtainer to your local hazardous waste collection point.

Do not recycle any other type of waste with plastic packaging.

If incorrectly sorted, some types of waste, such as batteries and electrical and electronic equipment, can cause fires and other hazardous situations. You can find the nearest collection point for other types of waste at kierrätys.info.
