1.2 Who is a private final consumer?

The Verpackungsgesetz (Packaging Act) defines private final consumers as private households and comparable sources of waste generation such as restaurants, hotels, hospitals, canteens, amusement parks, garden centres, laundries, libraries and schools. This also includes craft enterprises and agricultural holdings where packaging waste is collected at the rate that is normally associated with private households at 14-day intervals and in a waste bin that does not exceed 1,100 litres per collection group.
