TRIS notification 2025/0124/DK — draft technical regulation notified under Directive (EU) 2015/1535 (not yet adopted) Order on deposits on and collection, etc. of packaging for certain beverages End of standstill: 2025-06-03 1. MSG 001 IND 2025 0124 DK EN 28-02-2025 DK NOTIF 2. Denmark 4. 2025/0124/DK - S10E - Packaging 5. Order on deposits on and collection, etc. of packaging for certain beverages 6. Order on deposits on and collection, etc. of packaging for certain beverages 7. 8. This Order concerns amendments to the Danish rules on the deposit and return system for beverage packaging. The amendments introduce the possibility that companies marketing beverages to the Danish market will in future be able to get a refund of deposits on beverages exported from Denmark to the Faeroe Islands and Greenland. The amendments to the Order are reflected in new provisions in Sections 22 and 64 and in Annex 3. These provisions are hereby notified under the Information Procedures Directive. Certain consequential corrections are made as a result of these amendments. It should therefore be noted that only Sections 22 and 64 are notified, since the other parts of the Order have previously been notified under the Information Procedure Directive. 9. The Ministry of the Environment and Gender Equality has become aware of an issue relating to the fact that the Danish deposit on non-reusable packaging drinks is passed on to Greenlandic and Faeroese consumers without these consumers having the opportunity to get the Danish deposit refunded. The amendments to the Order are therefore necessary to allow consumers to be exempted from this burden. In order to avoid this burden, undertakings marketing beverages to the Danish market may in future be able to obtain reimbursement of deposits on beverages exported from Denmark to the Faeroe Islands and Greenland, so that consumers in those countries no longer have the costs of the Danish deposit passed on to them. 10.
