About us
Our operations
The Finnish SUP Producer Group Ltd is a producer responsibility organization established in 2022, playing its part in the implementation of the SUP Directive in Finland. We are a producer organization in accordance with the Waste Decree and the Government Decision, handling producer responsibility obligations on behalf of companies registered with it.
Our operations are non-profit. We do not engage in waste transport activities or in trade of SUP products. Our operations are funded through producer responsibility fees. Producers do not subsidize each other; each producer pays only their own share. The fees are based on the volumes placed on the market by the producer.
Producer Group's tasks
The purpose, tasks and responsibilities of the Finnish SUP Producer Group Ltd are based on legislation. The statutory purpose is to fulfill producer responsibility on behalf of affiliated producers.
In the SUP Directive, there are two types of producer responsibility
Traditional producer responsibility
Manufacturers and importers of the product are obligated to arrange for the waste management of discarded products and bear the resulting costs.

New cleaning cost responsibility
Manufacturers and importers are obliged to pay municipalities for the costs associated with preventing littering caused by their products, as well as the expenses related to cleaning up litter → covers: disposable food packaging containing plastic, wet wipes and balloons, as well as filtered cigarettes and cigarette filters.
