The Packaging Regulation

As a producer
responsibility organization

  • Owner: Carl Lundqvist Jan Troell
  • The Packaging Regulation prohibits approved producer responsibility organizations from distributing profits. As TMR is an approved producer responsibility organization, it operates on a non-profit basis.
  • De förpackningsavgifter producenterna betalar ska täcka kostnader för den kommunala insamlingen av förpackningsavfall samt mottagningen av verksamheters förpackningsavfall. Därtill ska kostnader för transport, återvinning och annan behandling av förpackningsavfall samt rapportering och administration täckas av förpackningsavgifterna.
  • Packaging fees are charged per kilogram of packaging material placed on the market. The level of packaging fees is influenced by the recyclability of the material. This differentiation applies to plastic packaging as well as paper and cardboard packaging, where more easily recycled packaging types have a lower fee than more difficult to recycle packaging materials.
  • TMR selects transportation suppliers to minimize the carbon footprint. TMR selects recycling facilities to maximize the portion of recycled packaging material.

Our Journey

TMR is a producer responsibility organization founded in 2005, at a time when there was only one national collection system for packaging in Sweden. Producer responsibility was perceived as complicated, the conditions were difficult to influence and the administration was burdensome. Basically all producers had a standard contract and there producer had no influence on the terms of the contract or how packaging was handled.

Since the beginning, it has been with this insight that we have been helping our customers with all aspects of producer responsibility. From contracts tailored to customers’ needs and personalized customer service to innovative recycling that gives packaging a new life.

The legislated producer responsibility places increasing demands on those who put packaging on the Swedish market. At the same time, businesses have become more ambitious. More and more people want to take a leadership role in the transition. We cultivate the high sustainability ambitions of the producers who hire us. Customers with their unique capabilities and wishes challenge and inspire us.

Developments in legislation and technology affect both us and our customers. TMR continues to develop and find new solutions to close the loop, always with the customer in mind.
