What it is
Naturvårdsverket (the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency) is Sweden’s authority for the environment, including waste, packaging and extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes such as those for packaging and electrical and electronic waste (WEEE).
Why it matters for compliance
Product compliance increasingly extends across the whole life cycle, not just the point of sale. For products sold in Sweden, Naturvårdsverket is the authority behind packaging obligations, WEEE and EPR registration and reporting — duties that attach to producers and importers.
How to use it
- Check your packaging and WEEE / EPR obligations for the Swedish market.
- Register and report under the relevant producer-responsibility schemes.
- Pair it with Kemikalieinspektionen for chemicals and Konsumentverket for product safety.
Good to know
EPR means a product’s “compliance” no longer ends when it is sold — design, packaging and end-of-life obligations follow it through its life.
