How turnover is calculated
Turnover is based on sales to the Nordic market, which includes:
- Denmark
- Norway
- Finland
- Sweden
- Faroe Islands
- Iceland
For machine producers and raw material producers / recyclers, turnover volumes to the Nordic market may be reduced if the company is already a member of one or more of the following national plastics associations:
- IKEM
- Svensk Plastindustriförening (SPIF)
- Finnish Plastics Industries Federation (FIPIF)
- Plastindustrien in Denmark
For each country excluded from the turnover calculation on this basis, EUR 950 is added to the calculated NEPSA fee.
