The Verpackungsgesetz (Packaging Act) requires all initial distributors of packaging filled with goods to register with the Zentrale Stelle Verpackungsregister (Central Agency Packaging Register – ZSVR) through the LUCID Packaging Register – before placing packaging on the German market. Failing to register attracts a distribution ban for the goods in question. Whether or not further obligations apply depends on the type of packaging that is placed on the market.
