Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is an ongoing task that requires data, overview, specialist knowledge and the right partners. As a member of Retur, you get access to all of it — in one place, run by an organisation that works for you.

What actually takes up time day to day

Most companies know what EPR is. The challenge is everything that comes with it: reporting with precise figures, documentation that holds up to scrutiny, deadlines that shift, and rules that change. Retur does not resolve your EPR obligations for you - but we solve a lot of things you would otherwise spend time and resources figuring out yourself.

Reporting and compliance

You report your quantities in Returportalen, our reporting portal. We make sure the data is used correctly in the further reporting to the authorities and keep you updated on requirements, deadlines and changes.

Documented waste management

We enter into agreements with collectors and treatment facilities and ensure that waste is handled correctly and with full documentation. This gives you a legitimate, documented waste flow and traceability throughout the value chain.

Knowledge and guidance

EPR obligations evolve continuously. New requirements, new deadlines and new product areas. As a member, you get access to specialists, webinars and guides that translate authority requirements into what they mean for your company in practice.

What you rarely think about — but will notice the difference in

Negotiating power you cannot create on your own

Retur represents a large number of companies across industries and waste streams. That scale gives us a market position that is directly reflected in the agreements we make with collectors and treatment operators — and therefore in your environmental fees. A single company cannot negotiate the same terms.

Knowledge that goes beyond compliance

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) affects more parts of your business than reporting deadlines. Material choices, supplier relationships, ESG reporting, supply chain due diligence — these are all areas where Retur’s knowledge and data can help you make better decisions. As a member, you have access to that knowledge, not as a consultancy service, but as a natural part of the membership.

Influence on the system you are part of

Retur is organised into sections — forums where member companies meet, discuss the development of the schemes and are directly involved in setting the environmental fees. This is not symbolic co-determination. It is your opportunity to influence how the schemes operate and prioritise — something no commercial provider can offer you.

A network of like-minded companies

You meet companies navigating the same rules and challenges. This provides industry insight, sparring and relationships that go beyond the purely formal.

Why non-profit is not just a word

Extended Producer Responsibility is constantly changing. New requirements, new deadlines and new product areas mean that companies often need to adapt data, processes and internal responsibilities.

As a member, you get access to specialist knowledge and guidance that can help you make better decisions about products, materials, suppliers, documentation and ESG data.

This applies both when you need to manage ongoing reporting and when you need to understand how new rules affect your company.

Knowledge you can use across your organisation
