The EPR fee for each material type includes the cost for the implementation of overarching programmes and the cost for each specific paper and paper packaging programme. The cost for implementation of the overarching programmes has been calculated by dividing the total cost for the overarching programmes by a factor calculated according to a 50:50 ratio of volume placed on the market and the revenue per material stream. The EPR fees have been based on the current information that is available and will be reviewed annually, based on the implementation experience.
