Partnerships

At VANA we handle the actual framework and operation of the producer responsibility in Denmark. We collaborate widely with relevant players throughout the value chain to create the best conditions for our members to meet their obligations - in Denmark and internationally. Our partnerships give you the opportunity to choose the solutions that fit into your particular business set-up for example regarding data management or international compliance.

VANA wants to be able to offer the best conditions for our members, e.g. easy integration for reporting. Through all our partnerships, we ensure mutual knowledge sharing and sparring for the benefit of our members.

Data handling and international compliance

The partnerships entered into between VANA and the respective players are not financially binding. The collaborations you may wish to enter into with a player for the purpose of handling and declaring your obligations in addition to VANA's services are thus an agreement exclusively between your company and the chosen player.

We hold partner webinars on a regular basis, where our partners present their respective system solutions. Times and registration take place here.

Data handling

Varefakta can help you get control of your packaging data so that you are ready when the producer responsibility comes into force. With Varefakta's PIDe (Product Information Database for packaging = (emballage in DK), you are guaranteed a system that can collect and process packaging data from your suppliers on the products you put on the market.

PIDe can help you get ready to report when the producer responsibility comes into force in July 2025, but can also be used for the first reporting in 2024. Furthermore, you can use the data in PIDe for strategic decisions about optimising your packaging and requirements for your supplier.

The process of collecting data takes place through Varefakta's packaging specification form, where all relevant information needed in connection with reporting your packaging quantities is collected. Varefakta ensures that your data is structured and processed so that you are sure that the quantities are calculated correctly. When the figures are to be reported, simply enter your sales figures per product and your aggregated packaging quantities are calculated. The calculated values are then ready for reporting to VANA.
