Recyclable paper, metal and glass packaging can be taken to the nearest Botniarosk or Rinki eco-point. In addition to recycled paper, metal and glass packaging, cardboard packaging is also collected at Rinki eco-points. To some Rinki eco-points you may also bring plastic packaging. Some eco-points also have UFF's clothing collection bins and lockable bins for combustible waste from holiday homes.
Packaging manufacturers and importers are responsible for the recycling of packaging in Finland. Finnish Packaging Recycling Rinki Ltd handles the collection on behalf of the producers. Municipal waste companies can supplement Rinki's collection if they wish, and in our area, Botniarosk operates more than 60 eco-points under its own management. Waste is delivered to recycling centres from Rinki and Botniarosk eco-points.
