Explanation
Retail packaging and grouped packaging for fireworks in quantities of 400 items/shots 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 cultural and recreational facilities.

Shipment packaging for fireworks 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 delineation criterion is the number of parts (e.g. 35 items, 10 rockets) or the number of shots (e.g. 100-shot battery). Retail packaging for fireworks does not constitute retail packaging for hazardous contents within the meaning of section 3 (7) in conjunction with appendix 2 VerpackG and section 12 (2) no. 3 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.
