Dear colleague,

From July 1st 2025, it will be a legal requirement that waste-producing companies (like DTU) exclusively use transparent/clear bags for waste. The reason being  that incineration plants need to see the content of the garbage bags and check if we have sorted correctly.

This means that if you have rolls of black garbage bags still in stock, now is the time to use them.

As it has not been possible to remove the black ones from the range, it is of course important that you are aware to choose the transparent/clear ones from now on.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Stine Rye Pedersen at stryep@dtu.dk

Best regards,

Stine Rye Pedersen
