Packing Notice
Notes on the take-back obligation for packaging material
According to the current German Packaging Act (§ 15 para. 1 sentence 1 VerpackG), we are obliged to take back the following packaging materials from end-users free of charge:
- Transport packaging, such as pallets, large packaging, etc.,
- Sales and secondary packaging that typically does not accrue as waste at private end consumers after use,
- Sales and secondary packaging for which system participation is not possible due to system incompatibility according to § 7 para. 5, and
- Sales packaging for hazardous goods or
- Reusable packaging.
Appropriate packaging material is used when the product is delivered, and we take this back free of charge. In doing so, we ensure that the packaging material is returned to the recycling loop. By providing information about return options, better results in the return of packaging are to be achieved, and a contribution to the fulfillment of the European recycling targets according to EU Directive 94/62/EC is to be ensured.
As an end-user, you can hand in the packaging material at the place of actual handover or in its immediate vicinity.
