Mepak is responsible for the recycling of metal packaging in Finland
We take care of the fulfilment of producer responsibility obligations for metal packaging in Finland. We make sure that both producers and consumers can recycle their metal packaging for it to be reused. We work together with waste management operators and authorities, and we make sure that the recycling targets for metal packaging are met and the recycling statistics are reliable and transparent.
It is the responsibility of a company with producer responsibility to sort the metal packaging that remains on its property and to arrange for its transportation to terminals that receive metal packaging waste.
Metal is a material that can be reused infinitely. Metal packaging is an ecological and economical alternative.
Recycling of metal is financed by recycling fees paid by packers and importers. See the current recycling fees.
