In Danish Producer Responsibility (DPA), our purpose is to develop and operate the statutory, national producer register. We have gathered a collection of relevant documents and articles where you can search out detailed information. For example, you can search for procedures or guidelines, notes from the authorities, statutory texts, or Danish and EU related reports and articles.
Annual Report 2024 Each year, we publish our annual report and financial statements, providing an overview of the organisation’s activities during the previous year and follow-up on the key legislative framework governing producer responsibility. In 2024, particular focus was placed on the new areas of producer responsibility for single-use plastics, packaging, and fishing gear.
This guide describes how battery producers register for the first time in the producer responsibility register.
In pursuance of the rules on producer responsibility, this document describes procedures, calculation formulas, and other criteria used in DPA to calculate the collective schemes’ share of packaging waste to be collected in the municipalities and subsequently subjected to environmental treatment (allocation with transfer of waste) or for which the collective scheme must finance collection and treatment, even if collection and treatment is carried out by a municipality or a waste-producing company (financial allocation).
This form must be used in connection with the financial guarantee that producers must provide in connection with end-of-life commercial fishing gear in allocated harbours. The financial guarantee is calculated every year in DPA and is to guarantee conduct of the reverse logistics. The form must be printed and signed by the bank.
Annual Report 2022 Each year, DPA publishes an annual report and financial statements providing an overview of the organisation’s activities during the previous year and follow-up on the key legislative framework governing producer responsibility. In 2022, particular focus was placed on DPA’s forthcoming administration of the new producer responsibility schemes for packaging and single-use plastics, as well as the expansion of the organisation’s workforce. The report also outlines the allocation of costs, fee structure, and annual financial statements relating to producer responsibility for electrical and electronic equipment, batteries, and vehicles, including the administration of the Digital System for Vehicle Scrappage Compensation (DUS).
(...amending Directive 2008/98/EC and Regulation (EU) 2019/1020 and repealing Directive 2006/66/EC). EU battery regulation repealing the existing directive. The regulation has direct legal effect in Denmark and must be introduced and fully implemented by February 2027. The regulation introduces new battery categories, with which battery manufacturers and importers must be registered in the producer responsibility register as early as August 2025.
DPA conducts assessments (scoping) whether equipment or products are covered by or exempt from the rules on producer responsibility. The following assessment guidelines have been made for the product group of cables and wires, including manufactured cables and cables “in reels”.
A short decribtion of how to establish a collective scheme in Denmark, including which information to register with DPA.
With the amended WEEE Order there are new rules regarding when to submit a management’s statement and/or auditors’ attestation in connection with reporting of quantities placed on the market.
Most recent statutory measures and common features are that all national producer responsibility fields are subject to a number of minimum requirements. Minimum requirements follow from the revised parts 8 and 8a of the waste framework regulation. Therefore, all Danish statutory orders (electronics, batteries, vehicles) are being revised, just as new statutory orders on producer responsibility for single-use plastic products (first, cigarette filters) and packaging (2025) contain provisions with the main purpose of enhancing the impact of the producer responsibility system.
