Explanation
Retail packaging for other consumer electronics in quantities of 5 items or fewer is subject to system participation because it typically accumulates 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 administrations, authorities, service enterprises and administrative sections of companies, especially in trade and manufacturing.

Retail packaging and grouped packaging for other consumer electronics in quantities exceeding 5 items are not subject to system participation because they typically accumulate as waste in industrial or large commercial enterprise settings (also in retail settings).

Shipment packaging for other consumer electronics 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.

 		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.
