How do I pay?

Members of VANA are not required to pay in advance or as an advance payment. VANA provides a guarantee on behalf of our members.
This means the first payment will be collected in November 2025 and January 2026, respectively.

VANA is working to be able to handle the payment obligation, so all invoices will come from VANA. More information will follow when this is implemented.
VANA is a not-for-profit organisation.
Our mission is to be the preferred producer responsibility organisation (PRO) for producer responsibility in Denmark by managing our members' producer responsibility in an environmentally responsible, administratively simple, and cost-effective manner.
This means that you, as members, do not incur unnecessary costs, which makes it far more economical, efficient, and less bureaucratic for individual businesses to be a member of VANA, than if everyone had to handle their own packaging throughout the entire recycling process.
