TRAEDE can track the packaging your products ship with and turn it into the reports you need for EPR (Extended Producer Responsibility) filings. You create packaging products with material and weight data, attach them to your finished products with a BOM (Bill of Materials), and Traede records the packaging usage automatically every time an invoice is booked. From there, the packaging report gives you filing-ready numbers for the Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian schemes.

How it works

1. Create packaging products. Each box, polybag, hangtag, or other packaging item is a product of type Packaging with a material, packaging type, and weight.
2. Attach packaging to your products. On each finished product, the BOM defines which packaging it ships with and in what quantity. BOM templates let you share the same rules across many products.
3. Sell as usual. When an invoice or credit note is booked, Traede automatically records the packaging used on each line. No manual registration is needed.
4. Report. The packaging report aggregates the recorded usage by country, material, and packaging type, and exports filing CSVs for DK UPV, SE NPA, and NO Grønt Punkt.
