Explanation
Packaging for agricultural chemicals and pesticides for use in homes and allotments is not retail packaging for hazardous contents within the meaning of section 12 (2) no. 3 VerpackG in conjunction with section 3 (7) and appendix 2 VerpackG.

Retail packaging and grouped packaging for agricultural chemicals and pesticides for use in homes and allotments in quantities of 28 kg or less 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 pest control businesses, agricultural holdings and gardening and landscaping enterprises 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').
Specials
The quantities of agricultural chemicals and pesticides for use in homes and allotments is stated in both litres and kilograms. Specifications in litres equal kilogrammes, and vice versa.

 		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.
