New subject-specific paper: What is considered packaging under the Verpackungsgesetz (packaging act)?

|

When does an item qualify as packaging, and which criteria must be reviewed when determining its packaging status?

In most cases, it is obvious if a certain item is packaging or not. There are, however, individual cases where this question cannot be answered conclusively at first glance. The ZSVR's new subject-specific paper gives guidance on how to delineate packaging from non-packaging. If a test item qualifies as packaging, it must then be determined whether it is subject to system participation. This is where the system participation requirement catalogue can help.
