Abstract [sv]

Denna studie syftar till att undersöka hur miljötillsynsarbetet fungerar i de regioner som har direkt tillverkning av plastpellets, samt de som använder plastpellets som insatsvara vid produktion i Sverige. Studien undersöker också hur krav och miljötillsyn kan förhindra eventuella utsläpp av plastpellets och om uppfattningarna gällande dagens miljötillsynsarbete i Sverige skiljer sig åt mellan verksamheter och tillsynsmyndigheter. Resultaten samlades in genom två enkäter, en anpassad till verksamheter och en anpassad till tillsynsmyndigheter, samt genom två intervjuer. Enkäterna hade 18 respondenter från myndigheter och 20 respondenter från verksamheter. De två intervjuerna inkluderande plastbranschen och den tillsynsvägledande myndigheten. De kvantifierbara frågorna analyserades genom t-test och regressionsanalyser och de kvalitativa frågorna analyserades genom innehållsanalyser. Enligt studiens respondenter kan mer och likartad miljötillsyn, bra kommunikation och tydliga regelverk minska utsläpp av plastpellets. Det framkom även att en blandning av reglerande tillsyn och verksamheters frivilliga åtaganden är det som både myndigheter och verksamheter tror fungerar bäst för att förhindra utsläpp av plastpellets. Mer frekventa miljötillsynsbesök uppskattades av verksamheter, medan myndigheter inte hade sådana statistiska samband. Studien bekräftar att det finns olika uppfattningar kring miljötillsyn mellan verksamheter och tillsynsmyndigheter, men att frågan är komplex och kräver ytterligare forskning.

Abstract [en]

This study aims to investigate how environmental supervision works in the regions that have direct production of plastic pellets, and those that use plastic pellets as input in production in Sweden. The study examines how requirements and environmental supervision can prevent possible emissions of plastic pellets and whether perceptions regarding current environmental supervision in Sweden differ between industries and authorities. The results were collected through two questionnaires, one adapted to industries, one adapted to authorities, and two interviews. The questionnaires had 18 respondents from authorities and 20 respondents from industries. The two interviews included the plastics industry, and the guiding supervisory authority. The quantifiable questions were analysed by t-tests and regression analysis and the qualitative questions were analysed by content analysis. According to the study's respondents, more and similar environmental supervision, good communication and clear regulations can reduce emissions of plastic pellets. It also emerged that a mixture of regulatory supervision and the industries’ voluntary commitments is what both authorities, and industries believe works best to prevent emissions of plastic pellets. More frequent environmental inspection visits were appreciated by industries, while authorities did not have such statistical relations. The study confirms that there are different views on environmental supervision between industries and supervisory authorities, but that the issue is complex and requires further research.
