Guidelines for measuring the recyclability of packaging 2018
The Verpackungsgesetz (Packaging Act) VerpackG provides for first-time publication of a minimum standard in collaboration with the Umweltbundesamt for 1 September 2019. Since the systems have to report on implementation of the provisions under section 21 VerpackG to ZSVR as of the reporting date of 1 June 2019 for the first time, ZSVR and the Umweltbundesamt have already decided in 2018 to make guidelines available in order to outline the framework / direction the development will take. These guidelines therefore constitute a starting point to establish incentives, which is then executed in the next step by the systems.
