The European Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation sets targets for reducing the use of packaging materials and for improving packaging recycling. Monitoring related to these targets requires comparable data on total packaging volumes in each EU member state. Packaging accounting methodology, which relies on annually reported packaging data obtained from producer responsibility organizations, and standard economic statistics compiled by national statistical office, provides a solid approach to quantifying the total volume of packaging placed on the market within a country. This data article presents an accounting of fiber, glass, metal, plastic, and wood packaging placed on the market in Finland in 2020 and an extrapolation of the data to 2018-2019 and 2021-2024. These highly disaggregated industry and material-specific packaging accounts can be used in further analyses of national packaging flows between industries.
