We have made it easy

Based on the amount of packaging that you put on the Danish market and how detailed you want to report, you can choose between 3 packages.
Be aware that for GO and EASY the first 200 kilos of packaging is included in the membership fee. In 2025 this means that 50 kilos are included, as payment per kilo first entered into force on 1.10.25.

Comments on the Q2 2026 prices

We have been able to lower our Q2 26 prices for the majority of material categories and maintain the current prices on the rest of the categories and for the below 8 tons categories.

This is a positive development in the right direction and is reflecting the costs base we know from Q4 25 and Q1 26, also taking into consideration some recent cost increases we are facing.

There is still a huge uncertainty in the cost base, the logistical system and volumes and, in addition, ongoing changes in legislation. Unfortunately, we experience that some municipalities are increasing the cost invoices they send to us, which we see as very problematic given the requirement from the ministry that there is a set ceiling for this cost base.

With the first reports and data sets, we are still largely lacking reliable data on the cost base as there are still no decided guidelines and control procedures made for these. Further uncertainties are caused by changes in legislation that lead to a different volume allocation than in the initial setup. The uncertain geopolitical situation also adds costs for especially transport.

Due to changes in legislation on e.g. generic packaging after the allocation was set, the producer responsibility obligations have relocated large quantities of e.g. cardboard and plastic volumes from our members in our PRO to members of other PRO’s. This has a major impact on the cost base, as allocated costs no longer correspond to the actual quantities. This absurd, distorting competitive situation caused by legislative changes from the authorities is a fact, and unfortunately the authorities’ allocation will not change again before 1 January 2027. So, we are looking forward to the next allocation where our current over-collection (too high allocated costs) will be reverted to us over a period of 24 months, giving us fair competitive cards.

While we aim to achieve price stability for all our customers, we believe that quarterly prices are still the only fair, serious and economically sound approach given the great uncertainties in the entire system. We are not able to and will not dump prices for a certain period and then increase them when reality hits after the allocation deadline.

When the new allocation starts on January 1, 2027, we expect to see a much more even allocation that reflects volume allocation. And there will be historical data to rely on. Not having enough historical data, the lack of cost equalization of the allocated municipalities and improper legal mechanisms is a core challenge for the “young” Danish EPR system for packaging at this point.

What the prices include:

1. The municipalities’ actual costs for collecting household waste from citizens. This cost is the vast majority of costs, and we experience huge differences from municipality to municipality.

2. ERP Denmark’s costs for transporting and recycling of household packaging for each fraction, based on the prices negotiated by ERP Denmark with transporters and facilities.

3. ERP Denmark’s costs for paying compensation for waste-producing companies’ commercial packaging waste.

4. ERP Denmark’s administrative costs.

5. ERP Denmark’s financial costs for the on-demand security deposit on behalf of our members.

Eco-modulation of prices:

The red prices have been determined. The red prices have a malus (additional cost) of 35% on the average operational costs.
The green and yellow prices are currently being calculated for Q4 2025 and malus/bonus for Q4 2025 will be communicated and invoiced when ready.
