Explanation

Retail packaging, grouped packaging and shipment packaging for laboratory supplies 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 clinics, hospitals, dental laboratories, medical practice laboratories and research and educational institution laboratories.

Specials

Recommendations on how to deal with non-emptied packaging is irrelevant when it comes to classifying the system participation requirement of packaging for laboratory supplies. Unless otherwise stated in the package insert, emptied packaging (within the meaning of section 3 (6) VerpackG) for laboratory supplies is suitable for residential collection and recovery.

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.
