Explanation
Retail packaging and grouped packaging for tensioning belts or tension straps with a lashing capacity of 1,200 daN or less pursuant to DIN EN 12195-2, or with no listed lashing capacity, 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 cultural and recreational facilities, administrations, public cleaning and transportation services. Comparable sources of waste generation also include craft enterprises and agricultural holdings (e.g. garden centres, forestry 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 tensioning belts or tension straps with a lashing capacity exceeding 1,200 daN are not subject to system participation because they typically accumulate as waste in industrial or large commercial enterprise settings. That includes in particular logistics companies, mechanical and plant engineering enterprises and building trade businesses that exceed the volume criterion.
Shipment packaging for tensioning belts or tension straps 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.
Specials
DIN EN 12195-2 (“Web lashings made from man-made fibres”) prescribes the permissible lashing capacity of lashing straps and also applies to other kinds of tensioning belts or tension straps. The lashing capacity mentioned here, indicated in daN (dekanewton), always refers to a straight pull.

 		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.
