Prices packaging
Before the producer responsibility on packaging comes into force, there can be an advance payment as well as a possible guarantee, depending on how the legislation is designed.
When the producer responsibility enters into force, the total price will consist of:
- payment for treatment of packaging waste (eco-mudulated and depending on the municipalities prices for collection)
- annual contribution to VANA A/S of DKK 1,000/year (DKK 500 in 2025)
- fees to the authorities for clean-up, awareness raising measures and reporting (not determined at the moment).

VANA is working to be able to handle the payment obligation, so that all invoices 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 PRO for the extended producer responsibility in Denmark by lifting its members' producer responsibility in an environmentally sound, administratively simple and cost-effective manner.
This means that you do not pay unnecessary costs, which makes it far more economical, efficient and unbureaucratic for your company to be a member of VANA than if everyone individually must manage their own packaging throughout the recycling process.
