Choose VANA for single-use plastics and handle all registration and reporting together
VANA is now registered with Dansk Producentansvar (DPA) as PRO for single-use plastic products. This means that, in addition to the producer responsibility for packaging, VANA also offers to handle the producer responsibility for single-use plastic products on behalf of Danish and foreign companies.
Combined reporting through VANA's Member Portal
It is not mandatory to use a PRO to handle the producer responsibility for single-use plastic products, just as is proposed for packaging in (Emballagebekendtgørelsen (retsinformation.dk).
However, it is smart: Because as a company, you achieve a number of advantages by choosing VANA as PRO for single-use plastic products. Primarily, all data on both packaging and single-use plastic volumes can be registered and reported in one place - namely in VANA's Member Portal - with expert guidance from VANA's experts. Members also get the opportunity for assistance through VANA's Member Service and access to knowledge, webinars, templates, and guides about single-use plastics in VANA's closed member universe here on VANA’s website.
About the producer responsibility for single-use plastic products
The producer responsibility for single-use plastic products – also known as the clean-up responsibility – means, among other things, that companies that market single-use plastic products on the Danish market must be registered with the authorities within 8 product categories no later than 17 December 2024. The actual reporting of quantities will commence in April 2025 and must then take place quarterly.
