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.

The executive order on the registration and reporting of packaging, also known as the Register Order, entered into force on April 1, 2024. At the same time, the Danish Producer Responsibility (DPA) opened for the registration of companies that make packaging or packaged products available on the Danish market.
This means that if you are a company subject to producer responsibility, you must report your expected packaging volumes for 2024 no later than August 31, 2024.
Volume reporting must be done in kilograms, broken down by the following material categories:
However, you only need to report your total volume if you expect to make less than 8 tonnes of packaging available in 2024.
You must also assess whether the packaging, once it becomes waste, ends up in a waste bin at a household or at a business, i.e., whether it is household waste or commercial waste. Furthermore, you must specify how the packaging waste should be sorted. Can it be sorted for recycling? Or is it residual waste or hazardous waste?

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.
