The term 'tobacco product' refers to a tobacco product as defined in Section 2(1) of the Tobacco Act (549/2016). Producer responsibility applies, regardless of the sales method, to single-use plastic products containing filter-tipped tobacco products and tobacco filters, with the the manufacturer or importer of the product being considered as the producer.

2) costs due to the cleaning of litter resulting from these products and the transportation and processing of the this litter;

3) costs due to providing information and guidance on prevention of littering and on measures mentioned in points 1 and 2 above. The communication and guidance are implemented by the municipalities. According to the composition study, the cleaning and collection cost responsibility of tobacco producers for the years 2023-2025 is 11.5% of the cleaning and collection costs. The costs related to container investments and communication are not known.
