Your choices are important
A packaging must be able to be recycled again and again. For this to be possible, it is important that the design choices made when manufacturing new packaging are adapted to the technology used by the recycling facilities.
We help you through the entire design process with advice, smart tips, design manuals and training courses. You can even have your plastic packaging tested to see how recyclable it is.
Workshops and consultations
The choices made in the design process regarding material selection, glue, printing and other things have a major impact on the packaging’s transformation into new packaging. We help you increase the recyclability of your packaging through webinars and courses in design for recycling. We can also hold a workshop with your company. Contact us for personal advice on how your packaging can be easier to recycle.
Design guidelines for recycling and circularity
Packaging manuals
We have packaging manuals for the material types plastic, paper, metal and glass. They are filled with concrete recommendations and design guidelines regarding the design of recyclable packaging. Among other things, the manuals contain information on how different material choices, colours and labels can affect the recyclability of a packaging. Use them to make informed choices when designing your packaging.
The manuals are available to everyone who is affiliated to Näringslivets Producentansvar. Order your copies via the form below.

How your design choices can affect your packaging fee
Differentiated fees
Differentiated fees mean a lower fee for packaging that is designed to be recyclable, than for packaging that is difficult to recycle. The packaging fees for paper and plastic are differentiated to guide the development towards more material recyclable packaging. Reducing packaging material and developing packaging that is more recyclable is an opportunity to influence packaging fees. We are happy to support in matters related to design for more recyclable packaging.
Make it easy to sort correctly
Label your packaging
By clearly labeling your packaging with symbols for material types, you make it easier for consumers to source-separate the packaging correctly.
