8. The regulation requires producers of single-use plastic products to pay a littering fee in order to cover the costs of cleaning up litter from their products (Section 8). Part of the littering fee consists of what is referred to as the product fee (Section 9). The product fee is intended to cover costs incurred by municipalities for cleaning, administration and planning of cleaning, provision of information, and gathering and reporting of data related to litter from single-use plastic products (Section 10). The proportion of the litter cleaned up by a municipality that is attributable to single-use plastic products shall be calculated by means of litter surveys to be carried out every two years (Section 31). Every year, municipalities report the costs they have incurred for cleaning to the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Section 28). The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency then assesses whether these costs are deemed to be too high, given a number of parameters set out in the Littering Ordinance, and then determines the total cost to be paid by producers (Section 13). The costs are allocated to each product category of single-use plastic products based on the results of the litter surveys. The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency then issues a regulation laying down the amount of the product fee for each product category (Section 12). Finally, the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency makes a decision on the product fee to be paid by individual producers based on the number of products that each producer has placed on the Swedish market (Section 12). The product fee is re-calculated each year.

Producers of single-use plastic products shall pay a product fee for the single-use plastic products they place on the market. The product fee shall cover the costs of cleaning, administration, planning, gathering and reporting of data, and the provision of information related to litter from single-use plastic products. Costs incurred by municipalities are allocated on the basis of the proportion of the littering that is attributable to the respective product category. The allocation is based on litter surveys that are carried out every two years (Sections 8 to 13 and Section 15).

The proposed date of entry into force for the provisions is 26 March 2024.

9. The purpose of the regulations is to reduce the negative impact on the environment caused by littering from single-use products in outdoor environments, with producers taking financial responsibility for the management of litter and for the provision of information on littering. The regulations are part of Sweden’s transposition of Directive (EU) 2019/904 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 June 2019 on the reduction of the impact of certain plastic products on the environment. The Directive requires producers of single-use plastic products, as part of achieving the Directive’s objective, to cover the costs of cleaning up, transporting and treating litter from these products (Article 8(2) to (4)).
