Registration fee for producers/importers
NOK 10,000Membership for beverage producers and importers
In Norway, all sellers of beverages with recyclable containers pay a base tax and an environmental tax to the state for each can and bottle placed on the market. When you register your products with Infinitum, the environmental tax may be reduced or waived entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the answers to the questions many people have:

Until the contract is terminated or the company is dissolved due to bankruptcy or similar circumstances.

You must report your sales every month by the 7th of the following month.

How long does the approval process take?
According to company – must be submitted by the 15th to be approved one month later. According to product – approximately two weeks after the product has been submitted and we have received 12 units for testing.
Can I become a member if I import small quantities?
Yes!
Which products can be registered?
All products made of PET, HDPE, aluminum and steel, but they must pass testing.
What happens if we do not reach a 95% collection rate?
The collection rate is 95% for each material stream. This means that all PET products must achieve a 95% collection rate in order for all members to be exempt from paying the environmental tax. If the collection rate is below 95%, an environmental tax must be paid.
Will I receive help and guidance as a member?
We are here to help and can be reached by email or telephone if there is any information you are unable to find on our website.
What is the difference between the PR-cost base fee, the base tax, and the environmental tax?
The PR-cost base fee is the producer responsibility cost, which is a cost per unit sold to Infinitum; this can be calculated using the cost calculator on our website. The base tax and the environmental tax are taxes levied by the state for the state. These are packaging fees/taxes. The base tax must be paid. However, as an Infinitum member, the environmental tax is waived if the collection rate reaches 95%.
