Explanation
Retail packaging and grouped packaging for fuel paste in quantities of 18 litres or less 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 food and beverage businesses, accommodation establishments, canteens and commercial kitchens. Comparable sources of waste generation also include caterers 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 fuel paste in quantities exceeding 18 litres are not subject to system participation because they typically accumulate as waste in industrial or large commercial enterprise settings.

Shipment packaging for fuel paste 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
Retail packaging for hazardous contents within the meaning of section 3 (7) in conjunction with appendix 2 VerpackG is exempt from system participation under section 12 (2) no. 3 VerpackG.

The quantity of fuel paste can be given in litres or kilogrammes. Specifications in litres equal kilogrammes, and vice versa.

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.
