The ZSVR issues a warning about scam e-mails: Scam e-mails claiming to be from the Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister (Central Agency Packaging Register – ZSVR) are currently being sent to registered companies. The scam e-mails contain text taken from the ZSVR’s own communications asking users to fulfil their legal obligation to undertake system participation. Attempts are made to obtain confidential data such as passwords and master data. Neither this e-mail nor any of the links it may contain originate from the ZSVR. The links lead to unsafe websites. Please ignore these messages. 
You can recognise e-mails from the ZSVR by the sender address, which always ends with ‘@verpackungsregister.org’ or ‘@email.verpackungsregister.org’. It also helps if you label e-mails with an incorrect sender address as spam in your systems.

Explanation
Retail packaging, grouped packaging and shipment packaging for textile machines 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) such as educational institutions, cultural and recreational facilities.

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).

 		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.
