EU Packaging Regulation
Information on the Obligation to Take Back Packaging Material
According to the current Packaging Act pursuant to § 15 para. 1 sentence 1 VerpackG, we are obliged to take back the following packaging materials from end consumers free of charge:
- Transport packaging, such as pallets, bulk packaging, etc.
- Sales and outer packaging that, after use, typically does not become waste for private end consumers.
- Sales and outer packaging for which system participation is not possible due to system incompatibility according to § 7 para. 5.
- Sales packaging containing hazardous substances.
- Reusable packaging.
Appropriate packaging material is used when the product is delivered, and we take this back free of charge. This ensures the return of packaging material into the recycling loop.
By informing about return options, better results in the return of packaging are to be achieved, contributing to the fulfillment of European recycling targets under EU Directive 94/62/EC.
As an end consumer, you can return the packaging material at the place of actual handover or in its immediate vicinity.
