New registration certificate

On 1 January 2011, Dansk Retursystem A/S changed the procedure for the issuing of registration certificates to suppliers of drink products on which deposits are payable. We have taken this step to ensure that suppliers always have an updated overview of which packaging they have registered.

The new registration certificate has been redesigned to provide, amongst other things, a complete list of all the packaging registered by a supplier. One new element is that, in future, a registration certificate will only be valid for one calendar year. However, a certificate will be renewed automatically on the basis of the packaging that is registered at the time.

The present registration certificates are being replaced by the new ones which suppliers received for the first time at the end of December 2010. If a supplier registers new packaging during the year, Dansk Retursystem A/S will issue a registration certificate for the new packaging which is valid for the rest of the year. The new packaging will then be included on the full registration certificate when it is re-issued for the following calendar year.

A registration certificate is issued in accordance with the Danish Environmental Protection Agency Statutory Order no. 1129 of 27 September 2010 covering the deposits payable on, and collection of, packaging for certain drink products.
