Explanation
Retail packaging and grouped packaging for jewellery and costume/fashion jewellery in quantities of 12 items/pairs 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). Comparable sources of waste generation also include goldsmiths and silversmiths, engravers and other craft enterprises 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 jewellery and costume/fashion jewellery 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
Before applying the system participation requirement catalogue, it must be verified that the item in question is packaging within the meaning of section 3 (1) VerpackG in conjunction with appendix 1 VerpackG.

 		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.
