Is your company subject to producer responsibility for packaging?

Please note that the attribution of the producer responsibility may vary depending on who has the packaging designed and manufactured. Therefore, you may have to take the test for more than one of your packaging types. Please note that the result of the test is not a legal decision; it should only be seen as a guidance.

Where is your company established?

Does your company employ less than 10 persons, and does the annual turnover not exceed DKK 15 million?

This is the definition of a micro-enterprise in the legislation on producer responsibility for packaging.

Do you manufacture or import empty or filled packaging that you put on the market in Denmark?

Indicative result of test: Your company is not subject to producer responsibility for this packaging.

You must not register in the producer register, but you may want to check whether your products are subject to producer responsibility and whether another company is subject to producer responsibility.
