Explanation
Retail packaging, grouped packaging and shipment packaging for traffic mirrors are not subject to system participation because they typically accumulate as waste in industrial, retail or logistics settings, not with private final consumers – i.e. private households and comparable sources of waste generation (within the meaning of section 3 (11) VerpackG).

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.
