Explanation
Retail packaging for wood boards of all kinds is not subject to system participation because it typically accumulates as waste in industrial or large commercial enterprise settings. This includes in particular building trade businesses whose packaging waste cannot be collected at the rate that is normally associated with private households in waste bins that do not exceed 1,100 litres. Wood boards may undergo further industrial processing, e.g. in furniture or boat manufacturing.

Although retail packaging for wood boards accumulates as waste with private final consumers – i.e. private households (e.g. in DIY interior construction or furniture projects) and comparable sources of waste generation (within the meaning of section 3 (11) VerpackG) – to some extent, it is not subject to system participation because the lion's share of the retail packaging accumulates as waste in large commercial enterprise settings.

Shipment packaging for wood boards 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.
