Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) Software Finland
Automate your 2026 EPR reporting for Finland.
Companies legally defined as "producers" must comply with registration, reporting, and waste management obligations for any packaging they place on the Finnish market.
The Finnish system is structured across three levels. At the policy level, the Ministry of the Environment defines the legal framework and environmental targets. The Pirkanmaa Centre for Economic Development, Transport and the Environment (ELY Centre) serves as the national supervisory authority, overseeing compliance. Operational coordination is primarily handled by Finnish Packaging Recycling RINKI Ltd, which acts as a central service hub for producers to join approved Producer Responsibility Organisations (PROs), such as Sumi Oy or Finnish Packaging Producers Ltd.
EPR rates in Finland are categorised based on material composition and ease of processing. Mono-materials and more recyclable packaging has lower fees, while complex or non-recyclable packaging incur higher costs.
The reporting process can get challenging when 1000s of packaging units are involved.
What if you could automate the compliance process?
Approach EPR Declaration Systematically
with Recyda
Report accurately on time
Stay compliant and avoid costly fines.
Save time
Skip the manual effort of navigating guidelines and complex rules when completing your data.
Automate and scale
No more working through complex spreadsheets every reporting period.
Recyda provides both a powerful platform and the strategic guidance to automate your reporting process.
Here's How Recyda
Automates Your Workflow
Step 1
Perform a Data Import
Streamline how you work on packaging data — consolidate, manage and analyse your portfolio data in to one streamlined platform.
Import via API, Uploads, File-based Mapping
Fetch data from host systems: ERP, PLM, etc. via multiple integration methods.
Step 2
Prepare Your Data and Resolve Gaps
One of the biggest challenges in reporting is ensuring data completeness. Our platform addresses this with a structured workflow that guides you through open data gaps to improve reporting accuracy.
Unspecific Materials
Identify packaging units in your imported data with incomplete or vague material definitions.
For example, materials imported as “plastics” need to be specified as PET, HDPE, etc. for accurate evaluations.
Data Gaps
Based on the packaging type, identify missing attributes (e.g. colour, separability, density, DRS) to improve EPR accuracy.
Unassigned Contribution Groups
Identify unassigned packaging units and assign them to the appropriate contribution groups for accurate reporting.
Heuristics
Rather than having to individually fill out missing data, use logic based heuristics to populate missing data fields.
For example, apply a logic that all packaging from brands X, Y, Z are coloured, and those from brands D, E, F are opaque.
Step 3
Get an Overview of Your EPR Obligations
EPR costs for your packaging units are then automatically calculated based on the Finnish guidelines. displayed through an interactive dashboard.
EPR Cost Overview
View total obligations broken down by categories in one place.
Detailed Breakdown
Identify units that are driving costs, and use this information to improve packaging and reduce long-term expenses.
Step 4
Download Your Submission-ready Report
Download a ready-to-submit report with data entered into the tables and columns as needed by your PRO (e.g. Finnish Packaging Producers Ltd.).
