The fee payable to Eesti Pakendiringlus by a packaging undertaking depends on the amount of packaging marketed or taken into use for own consumption or as raw material by the packaging undertaking. The minimum required levels of recycling arising from the Packaging Act and the Packaging Excise Duty Act are taken into consideration in calculating the fee.
The same packaging tariffs apply to all packaging undertakings. As the Packaging Act establishes that all packaging undertakings must be treated equally, Eesti Pakendiringlus cannot provide the service at a price which is lower than the established tariff.
