Notes
- The list covers collective take-back schemes worldwide — including authorities and older entries.
- Published packaging rates appear when a scheme is linked to the national comparison. Automatically found figures are market hints and widen price ranges where materials can be mapped.
Data provenance
The list comes from official and industry directories. Status: V = confirmed from an official list · B = from an industry directory · F = still to verify against the named source · H = older entry kept for traceability.
Scheme websites are checked regularly for tariff figures. Finds help with orientation — they do not replace a checked national tariff. New schemes from official lists are added automatically.
