Explanation
Retail packaging, grouped packaging and shipment packaging for electrical measuring instruments of all kinds is not subject to system participation because they typically accumulate as waste in industrial or large commercial enterprise settings. This includes in particular telecommunication companies, mechanical and plant engineering enterprises, power plants, the mining industry and building trade businesses whose packaging waste cannot be collected as waste at the rate that is normally associated with private households in waste bins that do not exceed 1,100 litres.

Packaging material
Packaging material

Abbreviations:

PPC stands for paper, paperboard or cardboard.
PET stands for polyethylene terephthalate (a type of plastic).
PE stands for polyethylene (a type of plastic).

Composite packaging is packaging made from at least two material types that cannot be separated by hand.

 		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.
