Explanation
Retail packaging and grouped packaging for outdoor fences and enclosures in quantities of 3 items or fewer 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 or authorities. Comparable sources of waste generation also include gardening and landscaping enterprises, building trade businesses and 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').

Shipment packaging for outdoor fences and enclosures 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
The items used as the delineation criteria refer to the sum of the parts that go together and are necessary for creating a functional fence or enclosure section. Examples of one unit are: (1) a set of two fence posts and one fence panel; (2) a set of a fence gate, a gate frame and two hinges; (3) a bamboo matt roll; (4) a picket fence panel; (5) a gabion kit.

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.
