Guidelines to increased collection of plastic packaging waste from households

The aim of the guidelines is to inspire, inform and give recommendations on how plastic packaging waste from households can be collected, and how different aspects concerning collection of plastic packaging can be taken into account without recommending a certain collection system in front of another. The aspects considered are: collected amounts, quality of the collected amounts, economic aspects, environmental impact, service level and communication, and flexibility. The guidelines are presented in a separate document and based on Nordic experience.

The report is part of the Nordic Prime Ministers' green growth initiative: 'The Nordic Region – leading in green growth'.
