Explanation

Retail packaging for agricultural chemicals for professional users constitutes retail packaging for hazardous contents within the meaning of section 3 (7) in conjunction with appendix 2 and section 12 (2) no. 3 VerpackG and, as such, is not subject to system participation. That is not the case for shipment packaging or grouped packaging.

Shipment packaging and grouped packaging for agricultural chemicals for professional users of all kinds are subject to system participation because they typically accumulate as waste with comparable sources of waste generation (within the meaning of section 3 (11) VerpackG), such as pest control businesses, agricultural holdings, gardening and landscaping enterprises 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').

Specials

The quantity of agricultural chemicals for professional users can be given in litres or kilogrammes. Specifications in litres equal kilogrammes, and vice versa.

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.
