Explanation

Retail packaging and shipment packaging for washing machines and tumble dryers are not subject to system participation because they typically accumulate 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. Packaging for washing machines and tumble dryers also remains with retailers.

Although packaging for washing machines and tumble dryers also accumulates as waste with private households and comparable sources of waste generation (within the meaning of section 3 (11) VerpackG) to some extent, the lion's share accumulates as waste with craft enterprises that exceed the volume criterion or remains with retailers.

Specials

Palettes are often used as primary packaging for this product. They do not typically accumulate as waste with private final consumers – i.e. private households and comparable sources of waste generation and are not subject to system participation.

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.
