Deadline recyclable packaging
Companies that have made reusable packaging available for the first time must register with the authorities (DPA) by 1 February 2025. DPA (Dansk Producentansvar) opens for registration of reusable packaging on 1 January 2025. If you are a member of VANA, you can register and report your reusable packaging in the Member Portal from mid-January (information and guides will be sent directly when we open). You can also register directly with DPA and choose VANA through DPA, and we will be notified automatically.
Reusable packaging is subject to reporting requirements the first time it is made available to undergo a number of trips or cycles by being refilled or reused for the same purpose.

In connection with the registration, the company's expected quantities made available for the current year (2025) must be reported. The report must be in kilos divided into 13 categories and divided into commercial and household packaging respectively. It must also be reported if you know whether the packaging is to be sorted as residual waste or hazardous waste.
