Currently, Tukes’ operations focus on providing companies with guidance. Companies have a large number of questions regarding the implementation of the SUP legislation. In the first phase, Tukes will focus on providing companies with advice and guidance in cooperation with other authorities.
The market situation will, for a certain period of time, be such that products without any marking, products marked with a sticker, and products with printed markings will be legally available on the market. Prohibited plastic products may also be available on the market, as stocks of products placed on the market before 23 August 2021 can be sold in full.
Market surveillance by Tukes is based on risk-based monitoring. The aim is to conduct the first surveillance project regarding single-use plastics in early autumn of 2022, before which Tukes will survey the market situation.
