Extended producer responsibility for packaging

Companies that put packaging or packaged products on the Danish market are covered by the rules on extended producer responsibility for packaging.

This entails responsibility for the life cycle of the packaging - even after it has become waste. A packaging data management system can help create an overview and support proper reporting.

How to order GS1Trade Packaging and create users.

Is my data secure in GS1Trade Packaging?

Udvid ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt plus indenisammenfold ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt minus indeni

Yes, your data is secure when stored and maintained in GS1Trade Packaging.

You decide who you want to share your packaging data with. The system makes it easy and secure to exchange data with, for example, suppliers, customers, and producer responsibility organizations.

We store your data in accordance with the highest security standards and comply with applicable data security regulations to prevent unauthorized access. We continuously work to maintain and strengthen the security of the platform.

Does it make sense to use the system if I only have secondary and tertiary packaging?

Udvid ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt plus indenisammenfold ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt minus indeni

Yes. All packaging must be declared - including primary, secondary, and tertiary packaging.

GS1Trade Packaging is designed to manage all types of packaging, making it a valuable solution regardless of which packaging types your company uses.

I already use GS1Trade Sync. Do I need GS1Trade Packaging?

Udvid ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt plus indenisammenfold ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt minus indeni

GS1Trade Sync and GS1Trade Packaging are designed for different purposes.

While GS1Trade Sync is used for exchanging product data and product images, GS1Trade Packaging is specifically designed for the exchange of packaging data.

In short, GS1Trade Packaging supports significantly more packaging-related data than GS1Trade Sync, including dedicated data fields needed to build the foundation for environmental fee modulation and reporting requirements.

GS1Trade Packaging will also enable you to share aggregated packaging data with your producer responsibility organization, as well as exchange packaging data with your suppliers and customers.

Already have product data in GS1Trade Sync? In the future, it will be possible to transfer your existing data to GS1Trade Packaging, so you won’t have to start from scratch.

Will my packaging data automatically be shared with my customers?

Udvid ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt plus indenisammenfold ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt minus indeni

No. Once you have created your data in GS1Trade Packaging, you decide which data you want to share and with which customers.

After selecting a recipient and publishing your data, the information will be made available in the recipient’s workspace. This ensures they always have access to the most up-to-date version of your packaging data.

What languages does GS1Trade Packaging support?

Udvid ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt plus indenisammenfold ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt minus indeni

It is possible to use the system in both danish and english. We offer guides, webinars and support in both languages as well.

Can I upload sales figures and item numbers so that packaging quantities are transferred automatically?

Udvid ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt plus indenisammenfold ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt minus indeni

In the reporting module of GS1Trade Packaging, you can enter your sales figures and calculate your packaging volumes placed on the market.

We are currently working on enabling the import of sales figures into the system, making the reporting process even more efficient.

Can I transfer data from other systems into GS1Trade Packaging?

Udvid ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt plus indenisammenfold ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt minus indeni

Yes. It is possible to import data from GS1Trade Sync into GS1Trade Packaging. Here is a guide on how to export your data from GS1Trade Sync.

Once imported, you can continue working with your packaging data in GS1Trade Packaging and build the data foundation required for environmental fee modulation in accordance with Danish legislation.

We are also working on integrations that will enable data transfer from ERP and PIM systems directly into GS1Trade Packaging.

Do I need GTINs on my products to use the system?

Udvid ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt plus indenisammenfold ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt minus indeni

If you already use GS1 barcodes - as most companies selling products through retailers do - you may already be familiar with the GTIN, the number encoded in the barcode.

In GS1Trade Packaging, you can use the GTIN as your product identifier. Because it is unique and found on most product packaging, it provides a reliable and familiar way to manage your data, just as you may already do in other GS1 solutions such as GS1Trade Sync.

However, using GTINs is not a requirement unless you want to exchange your packaging data with your customers through the system.

Can I use GS1Trade Packaging to store my packaging data?

Udvid ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt plus indenisammenfold ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt minus indeni

Yes. GS1Trade Packaging can be used both by companies looking to automate their packaging declaration process and by those who simply need a system to store and organize their packaging data.

By using GS1Trade Packaging, you ensure that your packaging data is structured and maintained in a standardized way. This improves efficiency, enhances data quality, and provides greater traceability across your packaging information.

Can I export data from the system to Excel for documentation purposes?

Udvid ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt plus indenisammenfold ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt minus indeni

At the moment, it is not possible to export data from the system.

However, we are working on a feature that will allow users to download packaging master data and packaging volumes placed on the market in Excel format. As soon as this feature becomes available, it will be listed under the upcoming features section on this page.

Can GS1Trade Packaging help with PPWR compliance?

Udvid ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt plus indenisammenfold ikon - en mørkeblå cirkel med et mørkeblåt minus indeni

Yes. GS1Trade Packaging enables you to register, manage, and share packaging data in an efficient and standardized way.

The system supports the data requirements associated with both Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in Denmark and the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) in the EU, helping you build a reliable foundation for current and future reporting and compliance needs.
