Registration with DPA

All producers must be registered in the Danish producer register (Producentregistret, at DPA) before the equipment is made available on the Danish market. DPA (Dansk Producentansvar) runs the register where your company is registered and where your volumes are reported.

The registration fee is paid once and goes directly to DPA. You pay DKK 1,000 to register including your first product area, and DKK 500 for each further area. We help you all the way through pre-registration, including the fiddly MitID approval.

The annual operating fee from DPA is calculated on the volume of electronics you reported for the previous year, and the annual report is due by 31 March. For small volumes you pay the minimum fee of DKK 250 per year.

Questions about the prices for electronics

You pay DKK 1,000 to register with DPA (DKK 500 if electronics are not your first product area), an annual DPA operating fee calculated on your volumes, membership from DKK 795 per year, and an environmental contribution per kg by the category of the equipment. The environmental contribution is typically the largest item.

The annual report to DPA is due by 31 March, and the auditor statement by 31 May. As a member you get reminders before every deadline.

For electronics a PRO is voluntary. You can meet the responsibility yourself, but as a member we take on the responsibility and the handling, and you get one combined bill.

The environmental contribution is eco-modulated. The red rate is consistently 20% above green and applies to equipment that does not meet the criteria for green, for example on durability guarantees. Both rates are in the table above.
