How Regulation (EU) 2025/40 (PPWR) applies in Denmark: the national extended producer responsibility (EPR) scheme, small-producer thresholds, eco-modulation, and deposit return system status. PPWR is directly applicable in Denmark from August 12, 2026.

No published national eco-modulation schedule; the national PRO has not published modulation criteria of its own. EPR registration and fees themselves apply from Aug 12, 2026, but harmonized grade-based modulation does not: the Art. 6(8) duty binds around mid-2031, 18 months after both the Art. 6(4) delegated acts (due Jan 1, 2028) and the Art. 6(5) implementing acts (due Jan 1, 2030) enter into force.
One of the oldest DRS systems in the world. Very high return rates. Full PPWR alignment of existing mature system.
