Explanation
Retail packaging, grouped packaging and shipment packaging for motor vehicle lights and lamps of all kinds are not subject to system participation because they typically accumulate as waste with automotive mechanics businesses whose packaging waste cannot be collected at the rate that is normally associated with private households in waste bins that do not exceed 1,100 litres.

Although retail packaging, grouped packaging and shipment packaging for motor vehicle lights and lamps also 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) – to some extent, this packaging is not subject to system participation because the quantities used in these settings match those used in automotive mechanics businesses. Overall, the lion’s share accumulates as waste in large commercial enterprise settings.

 		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.
