Reporting of single-use packaging

Batch reports – Businesses with quantities over 8 tons

You need to create two batch reports of your actual available packaging quantities for the period before the  producer responsibility on packaging comes into effect (October 2025):

1. Batch report of actual available packaging quantities 2024
2. Batch report of actual available packaging quantities January-September 2025.

The batch reporting must be done in the material categories you have registered in the Member Portal.

Batch report of actual available packaging quantities 2024
By April 30, 2025, you must report your actual available quantities for 2024 in VANA's Member Portal. VANA will then verify your reported quantities and ensure the statutory reporting to Dansk Producentansvar (DPA), by May 31, 2025.

Batch report of actual available packaging quantities January-September 2025
After the producer responsibility comes into effect (October 2025), you must report your actual quantities made available for January to September 2025, so VANA can include them in the mandatory report to DPA by May 31, 2026, at the latest. 

From October 2025, when the producer responsibility comes into effect, you must report your packaging quantities ongoing to VANA in the Member Portal. Read more about ongoing reporting here. 

Your ongoing reports will be accumulated into an annual report. Therefore, there is no need for additional pool reports unless you begin to make other/new material categories available than those you have already registered. In those cases, you must report your expected quantities to be made available in the current year, no later than 14 days before you begin the availability.

Amounts of both commercial packaging and household packaging must be reported in kilograms. This means, in practical terms, that you have to provide your best guess as to whether the packaging you put on the market ends up in household or commercial waste – that is to say, whether it ends up with a private consumer (B2C) or with a business (B2B).

You must also inform us if you know whether the packaging should be sorted as residual waste or hazardous waste. Read more about sorting and collection requirements in Denmark here.

Batch reporting – companies with quantities under 8 tons (administrative triviality limit)

Companies that make available under 8 tons of one-way packaging in a calendar year can choose to only report information on the weight of the total quantity of made available one-way packaging in the relevant calendar year, distributed between household and commercial packaging.
