Return deposit system for plastic bottles and metal cans
Plastic bottles and metal cans containing beer, wine, water, soda, energy drinks and similar beverages are required to be included in an approved recycling system before you market them in Sweden. The recycling system has to be specified on the label in addition to the amount paid for returning the container.
From 1 January 2023, The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency takes over responsibility
On 1 January 2023 responsibility for exemptions and other questions about the return deposit system was transferred to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency. Any exemptions given by the Swedish Board of Agriculture before then will still be valid.
The information at the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency is currently only available in Swedish.
