Explanation
Sales packaging for pickled foods in quantities of 22 kg or less is subject to system participation because it typically accumulates as waste with private households or comparable sources of waste generation (within the meaning of section 3 (7) VerpackDG) such as food and beverage businesses, canteens and commercial kitchens. Comparable sources of waste generation also include artisanal food production businesses whose packaging waste can be collected at the rate that is normally associated with private households in waste bins that do not exceed 1,100 litres ('volume criterion').

Grouped packaging for pickled foods in quantities of 1.5 kg or less is subject to system participation because it typically accumulates as waste with private households or comparable sources of waste generation.

This section shows the typical packaging types for the product group under consideration.

 		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.
