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?

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?

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?

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?

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.

Kan GS1 hjælpe mig med at tjekke mine emballagedata i systemet?

Ja, det kan vi godt.

Med et GS1Trade Packaging-tjek kan du få hjælp til at se på dine oprettede emballagedata og stille spørgsmål om fx datadeling eller rapporten over markedsførte mængder. Første møde er gratis.

Inden du booker, skal du være oprettet som bruger, have registreret mindst tre produkter med emballagedata og have orienteret dig i vores vejledninger om GS1Trade Packaging.

Du finder priser og kontakter os her på siden.

What languages does GS1Trade Packaging support?

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?

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.

Can I transfer data from other systems into GS1Trade Packaging?

It is possible to import data from GS1Trade Sync into GS1Trade Packaging. View 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?

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?

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?

Yes, it is possible to export master data through the system. You can also export the reports you generate for reporting purposes.

Can GS1Trade Packaging help with PPWR compliance?

Yes. GS1Trade Packaging helps you collect, structure, and share packaging data, giving you a stronger foundation for the documentation required under the PPWR. You can also generate and download a Declaration of Conformity (Doc) directly in the system.

The system also supports your work with Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for packaging in Denmark.
