Palpa Recycling fees beginning at 1.1.2016

29.10.2015

The recycling fee for beverage cans will decrease by 15% (0,0165 cents). 
The change in recycling fee is due to favourable development in aluminium recycling market including the market price outlook.

The recycling fees for plastic bottles will decrease by 7% in all categories. 
PET plastics market decline bottomed out in the spring of 2015 and the economy of the return system has stabilized due the positive progress in material sales. Also, there is a positive development of the overall costs. The share of bottle returns via reverse vending machines has increased further and saved counting and processing costs.

The recycling fees for glass bottles will remain on the same level as in 2015. 
The financial situation of glass bottle return system is still challenging. The cost increase caused by an increased volume is compensated by more efficient operations and positive development of the overall costs.

The Finnish consumers are still returning all beverage containers with excellent return rates that are world class in international comparison.

The new prices are available on PALPA web site.
