Explanation
Retail packaging for primers in quantities of 6 litres 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 building trade businesses 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 primers in quantities of 6 litres or less may also accumulate in industrial or large commercial enterprise settings. This also includes building trade businesses that exceed the volume criterion. The quantities used in these settings match those accumulating as waste with private final consumers – i.e. private households and comparable sources of waste generation. Overall, the lion’s share accumulates as waste with private final consumers – i.e. private households and comparable sources of waste generation.
Retail packaging and grouped packaging for primers in quantities exceeding 6 litres typically accumulate as waste in industrial or large commercial enterprise settings and are not subject to system participation.
Shipment packaging for primers 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.

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.
