Explanation
Nets and bags made of plastic for bulbs in quantities of 5 kg or less is subject to system participation because they typically accumulate as waste with private final consumers – i.e. private households and comparable sources of waste generation (within the meaning of section 3 (11) VerpackG). Comparable sources of waste generation include in particular garden centres, tree nurseries and other agricultural holdings 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'). Nets, bags and sacks made of plastic for bulbs in quantities exceeding 5 kg are not subject to system participation because they typically accumulate in large commercial enterprise settings (also in retail settings).
All other retail packaging for bulbs in quantities of 28 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. Comparable sources of waste generation include in particular garden centres, tree nurseries and other agricultural holdings under the volume criterion.
Shipment packaging for bulbs 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.

 		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.
