Tightened packaging tax in 2024
Companies that place more than 50,000 kilos of packaging on the Dutch market annually are required to file a declaration in connection with the packaging waste management contribution.
Introduction
Companies that place more than 50,000 kilos of packaging on the Dutch market annually are required to file a declaration in connection with the packaging waste management contribution. Packaging includes all products used to enclose, protect, load, deliver, or present other products. This is considered waste, as is protective material. A product description, user manual, or warranty certificate are not subject to the waste management contribution. The packaging tax rate varies by type of material.
For each product/item (SKU) in the assortment, it is advisable to record the logistical properties in the IT system (WMS or ERP). Logistical master data starts with length, width, height, and weight. There are various ways to collect logistical master data, such as manual instruments and fully automated equipment. A Parcelcube dimensioning system offers an all-in-one solution. A Parcelcube is a device used in logistics to automatically and accurately measure the dimensions and weight of packages. This data can then be exported as an Excel (CSV) file, which you can easily import into your own WMS or ERP.
Benefits of a Parcelcube dimensioning system
- Accuracy: The system measures the package's dimensions and weight with high precision.
- Time-saving: The process of manually measuring and weighing packages can be time-consuming. With a Parcelcube dimensioning system, this process can be significantly sped up.
- Cost-saving: Accurate measurement of the dimensions and weight of the package allows for better management of shipping costs, leading to potential savings. Additionally, you will know exactly how much packaging material is needed for each package, avoiding wasted space and materials.
- Automation: The Parcelcube dimensioning system uses advanced technologies to automate the measuring and weighing of packages.
- Data management: The system collects and stores data on the dimensions and weight of the packages. This data can be transferred to your WMS or ERP.
A Parcelcube dimensioning system can increase efficiency, accuracy, and cost savings in logistics. With the tightened packaging tax regulations in 2024, the Parcelcube is also a valuable tool for companies that ship packages daily and want to minimize shipping and packaging material costs. You can purchase a Parcelcube directly from our TBWB webshop.
