Selskabets aktivitet er at fungere som en kollektiv ordning til opfyldelse af danske virksomheders forpligtelser vedrørende det udvidede producentansvar for emballager. Producentansvaret for emballager er en forpligtelse som følger af EU´s emballagedirektiv. VANA havde ved udgangen af 2025 godt 3000 medlemmer. Lovgivningen, der implementerer det udvidede producentansvar for emballager i Danmark, blev vedtaget i Folketinget i december 2024 med tilhørende bekendtgørelse. Der er efterfølgende sket opdateringer af emballagebekendtgørelsen, senest ved bekendtgørelse af 29. september 2025.Væsentlige ændringer i selskabets aktiviteterDer har været væsentlige ændringer i selskabets aktiviteter, da selskabet pr. 1. oktober trådte i drift som Kollektiv Ordning for det udvidede producentansvar for emballage og gik fra at være en udviklingsvirksomhed til primært en driftsvirksomhed. Fra 1. oktober 2025 har selskabet fået overdraget affald fra tildelte kommuner og varetaget den fysiske håndtering af husholdningsaffaldet frem til genanvendelse. Disse aktiviteter sker ved hjælp af underleverandører.
