Packaging Compliance in Austria

Collection and Recycling Arrangements in Austria

Under the Austrian packaging regulations, producers must finance the collection and recycling of packaging they first place on the market in Austria when this packaging becomes waste. The producer normally achieves this by joining a local packaging compliance scheme and paying a packaging recycling fee.

SCIEX is a member of the ARA compliance scheme. SCIEX pays packaging recycling fees to the scheme in proportion to the amount of packaging SCIEX places on the Austrian market, to finance the take-back and recycling of waste packaging.

ARA manages all aspects of waste packaging collection and recycling in Austria on behalf of SCIEX. For further information, please contact ARA (+43.1.599 97-555, office@ara.at, www.ara.at) for further information.
