\n Did you know that the same sorting instructions apply everywhere in Finland, from Hanko to Utsjoki? \n <\/p>\n \n

The sorting instructions for packaging apply everywhere in Finland. Whether you are at home or at your cottage, sorting packaging waste to take it to a Rinki ecopoint or to the collection container at your own property, the sorting instructions are the same everywhere.<\/p>\n\n <\/span>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n \n\n

\n Where can I take packaging waste?\n <\/p>\n

\n \n

Cupboards full of packaging waste? Recycle them \u2013 and save nature.<\/p>\n\n <\/span>\n \n

Carton, glass, plastic and metal packaging and household small metal are collected all over Finland. Their sorting instructions are nationwide, which means that they are the same from Hanko to Utsjoki. In practical terms this means that plastic packaging is sorted in the same way at a residential building in Oulu as at a Rinki ecopoint in Vantaa.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Packaging waste can be taken to collection containers found in residential buildings, Rinki ecopoints or collection points maintained by municipalities. The main thing is that packaging waste gets recycled.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All recycling points in Finland can be browsed at Kierr\u00e4tys.info.<\/p>\n\n <\/span>\n \n\n \n\n\n \n Kierr\u00e4tys.info\n \">\"\n <\/span>\n<\/a>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
