Explanation
Retail packaging and grouped packaging for gelatin for technical use are not subject to system participation because they typically accumulate as waste with industrial enterprises.

Although retail packaging and grouped packaging for gelatin for technical use may also accumulate as waste with comparable sources of waste generation such as instrument makers (violin making), scientific institutions and laboratories to some extent, this packaging is not subject to system participation because the lion's share accumulates as waste in industrial or large commercial enterprise settings.

Shipment packaging for gelatin for technical use 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 quantity of gelatin for technical use can be given in litres or kilogrammes. Specifications in litres equal kilogrammes, and vice versa.

 		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.
