Producer register information service and whistleblowing form

Waste and Producer information in one place 

Jätehuoltokompassi is a service maintained by the Finnish Environment Institute, the purpose of which is to improve access to information about producers registered in the waste sector and to make it easier to find official services and websites related to waste and certain products. The service is in the implementation phase, so there are still gaps in its information.

Producer register information service

From the information service of the producer register, you can get information about producers accepted into the producer register, producer associations, authorized representatives and members of producer associations, as well as about managing producer responsibility. The name of the producer, producer association or authorized representative and social security number or foreign company number are published in the information service. The producer responsibilities and producer associations to which it has joined are published. If the producer’s producer responsibility obligations are handled by an authorized representative, the information service also contains information about the person giving the authorization, which could be, for example, the operator of an online shopping platform or a company established in another country that sells products to Finland remotely. Producer associations publish information about the producers belonging to the association. Packaging producers are still missing from the register.

Whistleblowing form

Do you believe that a company operates on the Finnish market and neglects its producer responsibility obligation? Ely-keskus has a publication form, through which you can report the company. The form can be found: Whistleblowing
