Recycling statistics
Recycling targets have been set for products under Extended Producer Responsibility by product group, both in directives and in government decrees. The achievement of the targets is monitored annually when producers and producer organisations report the collection and recycling volumes to the Pirkanmaa ELY Centre, which in turn reports Finland's data to the European Commission.
The statistics describe the quantities of products placed on the market and the quantities and utilisation of waste collected by producers and producer organisations. Since some of the waste goes into other channels, the statistics do not necessarily describe the situation in Finland as a whole. The figures for Åland are also not included in the statistics.
