Get help assessing single-use plastic products with a new template

It can sometimes be difficult to assess whether a product is covered by the producer responsibility for single-use plastic products. This is because there is no comprehensive overview of the criteria, which come from both the Danish executive order and EU guidelines.

News 05 December 2024

With only about 2 weeks till the deadline for registration of the producer responsibility for single-use plastic products in Dansk Producentsansvar's (DPA) register, many companies are currently struggling to find out whether their products are covered by the producer responsibility for single-use plastic products and how large the quantities are.
Read more about registration and reporting on single-use plastic products here.

But there is help at hand... because we have gathered all the criteria and examples in a template for each of the 8 covered product categories . With the template, you make a self-assessment by filling in the information based on your respective products.
Find the self-assessment template in our member universe here.

As an extra feature, you can also attach the self-assessment together with your self-check or send it to DPA for an actual decision if you are still in doubt whether your product is covered by the producer responsibility for single-use plastic products after completing the template.
