Explanation

Retail packaging for mixed preserved goods and ready-made soups in quantities of 22 kg/litres or less 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 food and beverage businesses, canteens and commercial kitchens. Comparable sources of waste generation also include artisanal food production businesses 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').

Grouped packaging for mixed preserved goods and ready-made soups in quantities of 1.5 kg/litres or less 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.

Shipment packaging for mixed preserved goods and ready-made soups 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

For industrial processors, packaging is also placed on the German market that at the outset does not meet the legal requirements for being handed over to private final consumers and therefore typically does not accumulate as waste with them. This sort of atypically designed packaging, for example packaging that bears only a stamp and does not have adequate foodstuff labelling (in accordance with the FIC Regulation), is not subject to system participation regardless of quantity because it does not typically accumulate with private final consumers as a result of legal requirements.

Brief system participation requirement overview - Product: 02-020-0010 // mixed preserved goods, ready-made soups

Packaging material Packaging material× Abbreviations: PPC stands for paper, paperboard or cardboard. PET stands for polyethylene terephthalate (a type of plastic). PE stands for polyethylene (a type of plastic). Composite packaging is packaging made from at least two material types that cannot be separated by hand.	Shape/form Shape/form× This section shows the typical packaging types for the product group under consideration. IBC is the abbreviation for intermediate bulk container. An IBC is a large, cuboid container for liquid and free-flowing materials. An octabin is an octagonal container used to transport and store bulk materials.	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.
