EPRasiakirjoissa

EPRasiakirjoissa is a Finnish term used to refer to the content found within documents related to extended producer responsibility (EPR) schemes. The phrase literally means "in EPR documents" and is used to describe sections that set out producers' obligations under EPR rules.

In practice, EPR documents may appear in regulations, compliance reports, or tender specifications and cover aspects such as the scope of products subject to EPR, registration requirements, reporting duties, financing arrangements, and data on quantities placed on the market and collected for recycling or recovery. They may also include targets, conformity assessments, and obligations for cooperation with producer responsibility organizations (PROs) or other organizers of EPR schemes.

In Finland, EPR is implemented through national legislation that transposes EU directives. The corresponding documents often require producers to register with authorities or join a PRO, maintain records, and submit annual or periodic reports to authorities or PROs. Audits and enforcement actions may accompany these documents.

Usage and scope notes: The term is descriptive and context-dependent; its precise meaning varies with the regulatory text. It is not a fixed technical term with a single definition across all Finnish texts, but it appears wherever authors discuss the content of EPR-related documentation.
