Explanation
Retail packaging and grouped packaging for par-baked bread and ready-to-bake bread in quantities of 5 kg or less are 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) such as food and beverage businesses and commercial kitchens. Comparable sources of waste generation also include bakeries 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 par-baked bread and ready-to-bake bread in quantities exceeding 5 kg are not subject to system participation because they typically accumulates as waste in large commercial enterprise settings (and in retail settings), including in particular wholesale bakeries, chain bakeries and artisanal bakeries that exceed the volume criterion.
Because trade is a source of waste generation with market relevance for refrigerated semi-finished products, the delineation criterion of 5 kg is higher for these products than for refrigerated products (1.8 kg). Shipment packaging for par-baked bread and ready-to-bake bread 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.

Packaging material

Abbreviations:

PPC stands for paper, paperboard or cardboard.
PET stands for polyethylene terephthalate (a type of plastic).

 		Shape/form
Shape/form

This section shows the typical packaging types for the product group under consideration.

IBC is the abbreviation for intermediate bulk container. An IBC is a large, cuboid container for liquid and free-flowing materials.

An octabin is an octagonal container used to transport and store bulk materials.

 		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.
