Company registration - process
Companies covered by the producer responsibility must register with the authorities. For companies with producer responsibility for single-use packaging, it is a requirement to be a member of a PRO (Producer Responsibility Organisation). Members of VANA can manage both the mandatory registration and reporting through the Member Portal.
When you establish a membership with VANA A/S, the company must be registered in VANA's Member Portal with the statutory information, including company name, address, CVR number, contact person and any representative (only for companies not established in Denmark).
You are obliged to ensure that the information is always updated and correct.
Registration requires MitID Erhverv
Registration with the authorities is done through VANA's Member Portal and requires authorisation with MitID Erhverv for Danish companies.
Foreign companies and organisations must register and report directly to the authorities (DPA) with username and password.
When you register your company, you need to choose which types of producer responsibility you want to register for:
- Packaging (including expected quantities made available in the current calendar year - read more here).
- Single-use plastic products (including the types of single-use plastic products placed on the market - read more here).
After registration of your company, VANA will send you a contract for signature and an invoice for the start-up fee. VANA will register your company at Dansk Producentansvar(DPA) when the start-up fee is paid and the contract is signed.
Adding new material categories
If you later start making other material categories of packaging and single-use plastic products available, you must register this in VANA's Member Portal 14 days before the first time it is made available.
Registration of packaging must be accompanied by a report of the expected quantities made available in the relevant material category for the current year.
See more under reporting for requirements for quantity reporting.
NOTICE!
It is now possible to report expected quantities made available on the market for 13 categories with DPA. At VANA, you can handle registration and reporting of the 13 categories in the Member Portal from mid-January. Until then, you can continue registering under the current 8 categories and add the new ones later. If you have materials you wish to report for the categories that are not yet open in VANA's Member Portal, you can also register directly with DPA and select VANA as the producer responsibility organisation (PRO). This way, we will automatically be notified.
