GTIN
Colloquially, many know GTIN as a barcode, but technically, GTIN is the number found beneath the barcode symbol itself, and can therefore also be used for other technologies such as 2D barcodes and RFID tags.

On July 1, just before many of us went on summer vacation, the Ministry of the Environment sent an amendment to the Environmental Protection Act for consultation. Among other things, it proposes that extended producer responsibility for packaging will not take effect until October 1, 2025, instead of July 1, 2025. Any consultation responses must be submitted to the Ministry no later than August 22, 2024.
The consultation on the executive order, which will set out the detailed rules for the extended producer responsibility scheme, such as eco-modulated fees, did not arrive before the summer holidays as expected, and all stakeholders involved in extended producer responsibility for packaging are therefore awaiting the publication of the executive order text.

Companies subject to extended producer responsibility still have a registration and reporting obligation during the period from April 1 to August 31, 2024. This can be done directly with Dansk Producentansvar (also known as DPA) or via your chosen collective scheme.

GTIN (also known as EAN) stands for “Global Trade Item Number” and is the number sequence shown beneath a barcode symbol.
GTIN (EAN) is a global standard used to uniquely identify digital and physical products, allowing the barcode to be scanned anywhere in the world throughout the supply chain.
A GLN (also known as EAN) allows you to uniquely identify physical, functional, legal, or digital entities. This can include the sender, receiver, buyer, seller, supplier, manufacturer, delivery location, billing location, store, or internal departments.
