Elretur is carrying out the annual eco-modulation of environmental fees for 2025.
This means that companies whose products meet the relevant environmental criteria may qualify for the Green Group. Companies in the Green Group may receive a partial refund of the environmental fee they have already paid.
The eco-modulation only applies to product categories where an environmental fee is paid. Category 4-5-5 is therefore not included.
Deadline: The Declaration of Honour must be submitted no later than 15 June 2026.
The eco-modulation of environmental fees only applies to product categories where an environmental fee is paid.
Category 4-5-5 is not included in the refund opportunity, as no environmental fee is paid for this category.
The overview shows which categories are covered and which criteria apply to each product category.
Companies may qualify for the Green level if their products meet the relevant eco-modulation criteria within the relevant product category.
If the company qualifies for the Green level, it may be entitled to receive a partial refund of the environmental fee already paid for 2025.
To be considered, the company must submit a Declaration of Honour confirming that the products meet the relevant criteria.
To qualify for the Green Group, the products must meet the criteria that apply to the relevant product category.
Not all criteria apply to all product categories. It is therefore important to first check the overview of categories and criteria.
The possible criteria are:
The product is marketed with a commercial durability guarantee of at least 2 years in addition to the ordinary two-year statutory warranty period.
The guarantee must cover the entire product, apply at the time of purchase and must not be offered as an optional add-on for an additional fee. The guarantee must also not be conditional on the consumer signing up for a scheme or registering the product subsequently.
The product contains at least 10% recycled material.
The product does not contain lead.
If your company wishes to be considered for the Green Group, you must:
Please state “Eco-modulation of environmental fees – WEEE” in the subject line.
When submitting the Declaration of Honour, you confirm that the products meet the relevant criteria.
Elretur may subsequently request additional documentation showing how the products comply with the specific criteria. Elretur will conduct random audits on an ongoing basis.
It is therefore important that your company is able to provide documentation if requested by Elretur.
According to Section 59 of the Danish WEEE Order, producers’ financial contributions for fulfilling producer responsibility must be eco-modulated based on the environmental impact of their products.
In Elretur, this is carried out as an eco-modulation of the environmental fee based on the criteria in Annex 10 of the Danish WEEE Order.
The purpose is to incentivise producers to design products with a focus on, among other things, durability, recyclability and reduced content of hazardous substances.
No. Category 4-5-5 is not included, as no environmental fee is paid for this category.
Not necessarily. This depends on the product category. See the overview of categories and criteria to check which criteria apply to your products.
As a general rule, you only need to submit the Declaration of Honour. Elretur may subsequently request additional documentation and will conduct random audits.
Send the completed Declaration of Honour to retur@retur.dk no later than 15 June 2026.
