  • Recycling center Does your recycling center also want to offer deposit management to your visitors? We have different solutions for deposit management.
  • Recycling in public spaces and popular places Today, a large part of all drinks sold in Sweden are consumed on the go. In the city, in the park or on the beach, there is a greater risk that one or another empty can and PET bottle will be forgotten or end up in the trash. So, where should the deposit can or bottle be left when it has been drunk outdoors?

Deposit statistics

In Sweden, our goal is for 90 percent of all cans and PET bottles to be recycled and in the last few years we have been just below that number, which makes us one of the best countries in the world to deposit. It is the government through the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency that decides the recycling targets. The Swedish Board of Agriculture is the responsible supervisory authority. Every year, we compile statistics on how much is deposited, and thus can be recycled into new cans and bottles.

Recycling in percent in 2024:

Cans: 88.2%
PET total: 86.3%
Total: 87.6%

Recycling number per person:

Total: 271 pieces

Sales, total number of packages:

3.28 billion packages

Recycling, total number of packages:

2.87 billion packages

Recycled material, tons:

Aluminium: 25 956

Clear PET material: 22 784

Coloured PET material: 1 780
