Producer Responsibility for Packaging
Producer responsibility for packaging takes effect on October 1, 2025, but companies are already required to report their expected packaging volumes. At Recipo, we help companies stay compliant through strong partnerships.
Complete responsibility – from production to disposal
Once producer responsibility for packaging comes into effect, companies will be held accountable for the entire lifecycle of the packaging they place on the market – from production to disposal. This includes packaging that is manufactured, imported, or distributed.
Producer responsibility for packaging takes effect on October 1, 2025, but companies are already required to report their expected packaging volumes.
The purpose of producer responsibility is to encourage sustainable packaging design and ensure more efficient recycling of packaging waste. Simultaneously, the financial burden shifts from consumers to businesses – placing the responsibility for packaging on the companies that put it on the market.
Costs are tied to the environmental impact of your packaging – the easier it is to recycle, the lower the fee. This creates a financial incentive to choose greener solutions and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Which companies are subject to producer responsibility?
If your company places packaging on the Danish market, you are one of an about 7,000 companies that will be subject to producer responsibility and be accountable for the packaging throughout its entire lifecycle
– from production to the moment when it is sorted as waste by the end user.
We help you meet your responsibilities through strong partnerships
We have teamed up with VANA to make it easier for our members to meet their producer responsibility obligations.
Through this partnership, our members gain access to VANA – Denmark’s largest collective scheme for packaging producer responsibility – while Recipo, the leading partner in the Nordics, manages your producer responsibility for electronics and/or batteries.
This means that companies covered by several producer responsibilities only need one agreement to report their sales of batteries, electronics and packaging.
With Recipo, companies get a compliance partner who makes it just as easy to manage packaging as electronics and batteries – all through one point of contact, one agreement, and one reporting platform.
