How are the Green Dot rates calculated?

The Green Dot rates are adapted each year based on the costs Fost Plus incurs for the collection, sorting and recycling of the packaging. Revenues that Fost Plus generates from the sale of the materials are also taken into account.

The document below explains how the Green Dot rates are calculated.
