Dansk Retursystem

The company was founded in 2000 by Denmark's breweries in conjunction with the supermarket chains. It is now regulated by the Ministry of Environment. The company is funded by the fee paid by the beverage companies and bottles that are not returned (deposit never collected). The money it makes is used to improve the system.

Danish Returns are owned by the Danish Returns Holding A / S (85.62%), Harboe Brewery (14.27%), Vestfyen (0.10%) and Mineral Water Factory Speed (0.01%). The holding company is owned by Carlsberg Breweries A / S (which is the major shareholder), Royal Unibrew and Thisted Brewery.
