Business registration
Companies covered by the producer responsibility for packaging and single-use plastic products must register with the authorities. If you are a member of VANA, you can do this in the Member Portal. For companies with producer responsibility for single-use packaging, it is a requirement to be a member of a PRO (Producer Responsibility Organisation). It is voluntary for companies with producer responsibility for reusable packaging and single-use plastic products.
When you establish a membership with VANA A/S, the company must be registered in VANA's Member Portal with the statutory information, including company name, address, CVR number, contact person and any representative (only for companies not established in Denmark).
You are obliged to ensure that the information is always updated and correct.
When you register your company, you need to choose which types of producer responsibility you want to register for:
- Packaging (including expected quantities made available in the current calendar year - read more here).
- Single-use plastic products (including the types of single-use plastic products placed on the market - read more here).
After registration of your company, VANA will send you a contract for signature and an invoice for the start-up fee.
VANA will register your company at Dansk Producentansvar(DPA) when the start-up fee is paid and the contract is signed.
Registration requires MitID Erhverv
Registration with the authorities is done through VANA's Member Portal and requires authorisation with MitID Erhverv for Danish companies.
Foreign companies and organisations must register and report directly to the authorities (DPA) with username and password.
After company registration - adding new material categories
If you later start making other material categories of packaging and single-use plastic products available, you must register this in VANA's Member Portal 14 days before the first time it is made available.
Registration of packaging must be accompanied by a report of the expected quantities made available in the relevant material category for the current year.
See more under reporting for requirements for quantity reporting.
