The sale of illegal bottles and cans increases – Sveriges Radio

Anders Elfström, head of department at the Swedish board of Agriculture, says that the increase is due to several things:

” We have become better at doing risk-based selection, thus we are looking where we believe that we will find anomalies. Then it can also be so that there is an increase of opantbara cans and bottles, and it is well a lot about the increasing direktimporten that we see.

Last year the board of Agriculture note double the number of stores that sold non pantbara bottles and cans, compared to 2015.

the Law says that all PET bottles and aluminum cans with konsumtionsfärdig beverage shall be included in the system for returning to be sold in Sweden, with the exception of fruit juice and dairy products.

violates the law is at risk of a penalty which may range from 1 000 up to 100 000 sek, depending on how many invalid cans and bottles you can find – and now planning the Swedish board of Agriculture to expand the butikskontrollerna.

– It is, after all, so that we do not want to have either cans or plastic bottles in nature. Then of course we have a wide duty to provide information, to try and help the company to find the right in all the rules so that it does not occur, ” says Anders Elfström.
