Denmark: Packaging EPR fees
Denmark's scheme only started on 1 October 2025 — one of the last in the EU — and prices are still being negotiated with competing schemes.
Denmark has no single national packaging tariff. Figures linked to Emballage Indberetning — one of several competing collective schemes are a published market reference — another authorised scheme may price the same packaging differently. Source last checked on 09/11/2026.

How we verify this page
Core rates and detail rows are transcribed from the official document or tariff page at emballageindberetning.dk. We record a verification date (09/11/2026) and re-check when the source hash changes. Soft-scraped scheme hints stay labelled until someone confirms them against a primary document.
