Rinki eco-points

Packaging producers are responsible for collecting household packaging materials for recycling. Packaging waste can be disposed of at Rinki eco-take-back-points, managed by Finnish Packaging Recycling RINKI Ltd.

All Rinki eco-points accept cardboard, glass and metal packaging, and most collection points also accept plastic packaging. At most of the collection points, you can also recycle paper, clothes in decent condition and household textiles.

Rinki eco-points are typically located close to shops, making it easy to recycle packaging while doing shopping.

You can find the collection point locations at kierrätys.info or at rinkiin.fi.

In addition, all waste reception stations accept carton, metal and glass packaging. At the waste reception station, plastic packagings are sorted into energy waste, for which a fee is charged.
