Denne side på det nationale sprog

This toolkit organises the duties of BEK nr 851 af 28/09/2026 into 19 working files of open questions, with the statutory text carried verbatim beside each duty.

This instrument concerns businesses that place packaging on the Danish market, including manufacturers and importers of packaging, online sellers that ship packaged goods to consumers, and businesses that produce packaging waste in the course of their operations. It also reaches undertakings that take back packaging waste, operate collection or recycling facilities, or handle the financial contributions tied to packaging. The working files walk through the duties these businesses must meet, from product requirements and documentation to registration and reporting.

The 19 working files are organised by subject: product requirements for packaging, documentation and record keeping, registration with the authorities, reporting obligations, takeover under guidelines, reporting to the authorities, information duties, take-back of packaging waste, recycling, designation of facilities and sites, charging, guarantees, the duty to ensure compliance, the graduated economic contribution, further documentation, and payment. Each file sets out open questions a business answers from its own records, with the statutory text carried verbatim beside each duty.

Sections are served through a connector inside Claude, and nothing is downloaded or installed. The documents that come back are dated compliance reports the business keeps in its own file. The toolkit never gives advice and never presents a perspective; it carries what the authority wrote, organised.

It is a set of 19 working files that organise the instrument's obligations into phases of open questions a business answers from its own records. The statutory text is carried verbatim beside each duty.

How are the sections delivered?

The sections are served through a connector inside Claude. Nothing is downloaded and nothing is installed.

What do I receive after answering the questions?

The documents that come back are dated compliance reports. The business keeps them in its own file.

The files are organised by subject, not by the instrument's order. Each file addresses one area of duty and sets out open questions for the business to answer from its own records.
