How your company gets started with EPR

How your company gets started with EPR

Have you just found out that your company is covered by EPR? Here are the practical steps that take you from overview to compliance.

Getting started does not necessarily take a long time - but it does require an overview

Many companies find that the first step is the hardest: clarifying which obligations apply to their specific products, markets and company structure.

Retur helps you gain an overview of the key steps and provides guidance on registration, data and reporting. Once you are a member, we handle the practical tasks based on the information you provide.

Clarify whether you are covered
Find out which of your products trigger EPR obligations - and for which product categories. If you are in doubt, Danish Producer Responsibility (DPA) can make the formal decision. Retur can help you with an initial assessment.
Become a member of Retur
Sign up for the scheme or schemes relevant to your company. One annual membership fee of DKK 1,500 gives you access to all Retur schemes.
Register with Danish Producer Responsibility
Your company registers itself in the producer register. Retur provides guidance on what you need to have ready before registration - including master data, product categories and information about your PRO.

Let Retur help with the ongoing handling
Once the registration is in place, Retur reports your quantities to Danish Producer Responsibility (DPA) based on the data you provide. We handle the waste obligations and keep you informed about relevant deadlines and regulatory changes.

What do you need to know before registration?

Before you register with Danish Producer Responsibility (DPA), it is useful to have an overview of:

which product categories your company places on the market
whether you sell to consumers, businesses or both
whether you manufacture, import or sell under your own brand
whether you place products on the market in other EU countries

It does not have to be fully clarified from day one, but the more you know about your products, markets and data structure, the easier registration will be. Retur can guide you through the process and explain which information you typically need to have ready.

Do you have EPR obligations in other countries?

If your company sells products in Norway, Sweden, Finland or other EU countries, you may have EPR obligations in each individual country.

Through Nordic PRO Solutions and the Pronexa network, Retur can guide you on the requirements and connect you with relevant PROs. This gives you one point of contact to move forward, even though the rules vary from country to country.
