Key clarifications have been issued regarding Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) obligations in Denmark:
📦 EURO pallets are now officially classified as reusable packaging.
This applies to pallets that are imported or manufactured in Denmark—whether transported with goods or distributed empty. These must now be reported accordingly under packaging compliance rules.
🔴 Eco-Modulation: Reporting Now Requires Evidence
Packaging will automatically fall under the red category unless sufficient documentation is provided. This applies to companies placing more than 8 tonnes of packaging annually on the Danish market (though voluntary reporting is possible below this threshold).
✅ To qualify for the green category, companies must provide:
- A Declaration of Conformity from suppliers confirming the packaging meets the eco-design criteria.
- Supporting technical documentation (e.g. weight, material composition, test results) which need to be available for inspection.
⚠️ Non-compliance or lack of documentation during an inspection may lead to fines and retroactive adjustments.
📩 Unsure how these changes affect your business? Our team cglobal-sales@landbellgroup.com can help you assess your responsibilities and ensure your documentation is compliant.
