Denmark, formerly an outlier without Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligations for packaging, is now aligning with EU environmental practices. The upcoming packaging obligation is set to fully come into effect in 2025 with the goal to reduce packaging consumption and enhance the collection, reuse, and recycling of packaging materials.

While the full implementation is set to start in 2025, businesses must register and start to report as early as April 1, 2024, ensuring compliance with the Danish Packaging Order. At 1cc, we understand the importance of a smooth transition.

Defining packaging broadly, it includes all products used for containment, protection, handling, delivery, and presentation of goods. Even disposable products with the same purpose fall under this definition.

As Denmark adapts to this change, 1cc is here to assist in navigating the nuances of the new obligation.
