Explanation

Retail packaging and shipment packaging for flat-pack kitchen furniture of all kinds are subject to system participation because they typically accumulate as waste with private final consumers – i.e. private households and comparable sources of waste generation (within the meaning of section 3 (11) VerpackG).

Flat-pack furniture is primarily available in furniture stores, furniture discounters, furniture specialist stores, supermarkets and DIY markets. The product is usually delivered to the customer in the original packaging. Only in exceptional cases are large commercial enterprises the end customers.

Specials

Flat-pack furniture is furniture that is packed in such a way that it can be taken away by customers themselves from the point of sale.
Typical indicators for flat-pack furniture include the following examples: 1. The furniture is small or substantially disassembled. 2. The furniture can be sent via parcel service and does not need to be shipped via a forwarding agent. 3. Once unpacked, the furniture has to be assembled to a significant extent and based on assembly instructions. Not all of these criteria have to be met for a furniture to be considered flat-pack furniture.

Packaging material Packaging material× Abbreviations: PPC stands for paper, paperboard or cardboard. PET stands for polyethylene terephthalate (a type of plastic).

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.
