Financing

The Financial income of EKO-KOM comes from fillers/producers/importers who do conclude contracts with EKO-KOM. Payments to EKO-KOM are based on quarterly reported amount of packaging placed to the market in tons. Different payments are due to compliance scheme per ton of packaging depending on packaging material and packaging purpose (household and industrial packaging do differ substantially).

All EKO-KOM income is used to ensure packaging recovery as EKO-KOM is a non-profit undertaking. Main part of income is used to cover additional costs incurred by municipalities. Some part of budget is linked to packaging collection and recovery promotion and finally least budget chapter is linked to system administration and reporting. EKO-KOM is also involved in some packaging recovery research projects aimed to develop best practices and technologies knowledge available to public.
