Explanation

Retail packaging for pre-assembled household furniture of all kinds is not subject to system participation because it typically accumulates as waste with craft enterprises 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. (It also accumulates in retail settings.)

Although packaging for pre-assembled household furniture also 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) to some extent, the lion's share remains with retailers or is unpacked and taken away again upon delivery.

However, shipment packaging for pre-assembled household furniture 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

Pre-assembled furniture is designed and packed in such a way that customers are generally unable to collect it from the point of sale themselves.
Furniture is typically characterised as pre-assembled if: 1. the furniture is large and bulky; 2. the furniture generally cannot be sent via parcel service and has to be shipped via a forwarding agent; 3. after being unpacked, the furniture requires only minor assembly.
Not all of these criteria have to be met for furniture to be considered pre-assembled.

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.
