Now the companies will receive the bill for the trash party. The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.

Littering costs millions of kroner (SEK) every year, a bill that has so far ended up on the municipalities. But starting next year, parts of the invoice must be sent to the companies that produced the goods.
Litter fees for producers of packaging, certain tobacco products and filters, balloons or wet wipes.
From 1 January 2023, regulation (2021:1002) on littering fees applies. The littering fees consist of two parts, a variable product fee and a fixed annual fee.

      We hope that this sends a strong signal to the industry that littering has consequences and encourages them to take steps to reduce their environmental footprint.

                  If companies are losing money to littering then they'll do more to stop it.

                    Very tight measures required if we are to solve the pollution crisis.

                            Great! This will force the targeted companies to find an alternative of packaging their products.
