Packaging guide

In Sweden, there is a statutory producer responsibility to ensure that packaging is recycled and the associated fees are paid. Regardless of whether or not the packaging fee has been paid, the buyer may need information about the packaging material and its characteristics. Contact your consignee to find out what information needs to be provided.

How to specify packaging material in the Trade Item Information

The examples below show how to specify packaging information for different types of base level packaging.

Packaging material does not need to be specified when:

  • The trade item does not have any packaging material, e.g. a baking potato (then the attribute T0137 Packaging type code and the code value NE – Not packed, should be used).
  • The trade item has returnable packaging and therefore should not be recycled.

The attributes of the CompositeMaterialDetail class (highlighted in red in the tables) will be implemented in the Swedish market in the GDSN release 3.1.29 on November 16, 2024.
