🇸🇪 Sweden: PPWR Packaging EPR and Deposit Return

How Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR) applies in Sweden: the national extended producer responsibility (EPR) scheme, small-producer thresholds, eco-modulation, and deposit return system status. PPWR is directly applicable in Sweden from August 12, 2026.

EPR scheme

FTI (Förpacknings- och Tidningsinsamlingen). Mature system in place since 1994.

Small-producer threshold

~2 tonnes/year

Eco-modulation

PPWR eco-modulation aligning with FTI system criteria.

Deposit return system

DRS Active
SEK 1 (small PET); SEK 2 (large PET and cans)
PET bottles and aluminum cans. High return rates.
Returpack (Pantamera brand)
1984 (glass); 1994 (PET); 2006 (cans)

Watch points

Mature EPR and DRS infrastructure. Full PPWR harmonization of existing system expected.
