BUDGET SHEET FOR REPORTING EXPECTED PACKAGING QUANTITIES

From April 1st to August 31st, 2024, all companies subject to the Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging must register with the regulatory authority Dansk Producentansvar (DPA).

Your company must also report the amounts of packaging you expect to place on the market in 2024.

Emballageretur can handle both tasks for you, and to make it as easy for you to submit your data, we have developed a new tool, the Budget Sheet.

The Budget Sheet provides an overview of your company's packaging quantities and makes it easy to submit the information we need when handling the Extended Producer Responsibility for you.

Once you have submitted the information to Emballageretur, we will, on your behalf, register your company and your expected amounts of packaging to DPA.

DPA requires the data to organise the "allocation scheme." The allocation scheme is based on an annual reporting and assessment where DPA distributes the amounts of packaging waste collected the upcoming year between collective schemes and individually registered producers.

If your company imports, manufactures, sells, and/or repackages products sold in the Danish market, your company is subject to the Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging in Denmark. To begin, you need to provide your company information. You can either retrieve information from CVR or enter it manually.

Please be aware that the data reported in the Budget Form is binding from the moment it is uploaded to our system in Emballageretur.

Remember to fill out all fields before proceeding.

It's optional whether you want to answer the extra questions below.

However, your answers can help clarify your company's Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging, including which packaging quantities you need to report.

Your answers will guide you on how your company should address the Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging.

It will also help you further when filling out your company's data regarding the quantities of packaging the company expects to place on the market as packaged products.

If you are unsure, you can obtain the information from your company's packaging producer.

Is your company subject to the Extended Producer Responsibility for packaging in other EU countries, Norway, and/or the United Kingdom?

My company exports packaged products to other companies in the EU, Norway, and/or the United Kingdom.
My company sells packaged products to end customers in the EU, Norway, and/or the United Kingdom.

Other questions:

We use EUR pallets that are part of a return system.
We use fittings for packaging such as tape, straps, labels, etc.
We use returnable packaging in a closed-loop system, where we get the packaging back from the customer and reuse them in the same form afterwards.
We reuse packaging from purchased products.
We use recyclable materials in our packaging.
We place our packaged products in stock.

In the final step, you fill out the information about the quantities of packaging you expect to place on the market in the form of packaged products in the budget sheet.

Many companies may not necessarily have the necessary information readily available. If this is the case for your company, you can work with your suppliers to map and quantify the amounts.

To help you, Emballageretur has developed two simple support tools (Excel sheets - located at the bottom of the page), which can give you an overview of your packaging quantities.

Before filling out the form, you need to:
  • indicate whether your company is above or below the trivial limit of 8 tons of packaging waste annually,
  • specify if your company's packaging is hazardous waste,
  • specify the end user of your company's packaging.

Are your packaging quantities above or below the trivial limit?

It is important to emphasize that the trivial limit does not exempt companies from reporting their quantities.

If your company's packaging quantities fall below the trivial limit, you still need to report your packaging quantities.

The reporting process may be simpler, as you don't have to report as much information as companies above the trivial limit. Specifically, this means you don't need to report the company's quantities for each packaging category but can choose to report the packaging as a single combined quantity.

Emballageretur recommends that companies with less than 8 tons of annual packaging still report in a manner similar to companies with more than 8 tons of packaging. This way, you can clearly document and communicate your efforts regarding the collection and treatment of your packaging waste.
Does your company market over 8 tons of packaging per year?

Should your packaging be sorted as hazardous waste?

If your company places packaging on the market that, upon disposal, needs to be sorted as hazardous waste, this should be registered separately.
Do you place packaging on the market that, due to its contents, needs to be sorted as hazardous waste when the packaging is disposed of? This could include items such as hairspray, cleaning and descaling agents, etc.

Should your packaging be sorted as residual waste?

If your company places packaging on the market that, when disposed of, should be sorted as residual waste according to waste regulations, this must be registered separately. Residual waste is waste not covered by other collection or disposal schemes, i.e., waste not suitable for reuse or recycling and not regarded as hazardous waste.
Do you place packaging on the market that, due to its contents, should be sorted as residual waste when the packaging is disposed of? This could include pizza boxes, snack bags and coffee bags.
