Explanation
Retail packaging for hop powder, hop extract and hops in quantities of 3 kg or less is subject to system participation because it typically accumulates as waste with private final consumers – i.e. private households and comparable sources of waste generation (within the meaning of section 3 (11) VerpackG) such as food and beverage businesses. Comparable sources of waste generation also include artisanal food production businesses (such as breweries) whose packaging waste can be collected at the rate that is normally associated with private households in waste bins that do not exceed 1,100 litres ('volume criterion').

Retail packaging and grouped packaging for hop powder, hop extract and hops in quantities exceeding 3 kg are not subject to system participation because they typically accumulate as waste in large breweries or in other industrial or large commercial enterprise settings.

Shipment packaging for hop powder, hop extract and hops of all kinds typically accumulates as waste with private final consumers – i.e. private households and comparable sources of waste generation and, as such, is subject to system participation.
Specials
The quantity of hop powder, hop extract and hops can be given in litres or kilogrammes. Specifications in litres equal kilogrammes, and vice versa.

 		Delineation criterion
Delineation criterion

Criterion that relates to a specific product and determines whether the shipment, retail or grouped packaging in question is subject to system participation.

For food packaging, that delineation criterion often is quantity. For packaging filled with other products, the delineation criterion tends to be the number/volume or unit of the individual products contained in the packaging. Depending on the product, other criteria may be used within the scope of an overall market assessment to delineate or determine whether the system participation requirement applies to a packaging, such as the stress class in the case of laminate products.
