Explanation
Retail packaging, grouped packaging and shipment packaging for products for livestock breeding of all kinds 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). Comparable sources of waste generation also include 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').

Retail packaging, grouped packaging and shipment packaging for products for livestock breeding may also accumulate in industrial or large commercial enterprise settings to some extent. This includes in particular agricultural holdings exceeding the volume criterion. However, this packaging is subject to system participation because the product packaging used in these settings matches the packaging that accumulates as waste with private final consumers – i.e. private households and comparable sources of waste generation, and the lion’s share accumulates as waste with private final consumers – i.e. private households and comparable sources of waste generation.

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.
