Information on the Obligation to Take Back Packaging Material
According to the current Packaging Act (§ 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, large packaging, etc.,
- Sales and outer packaging that typically does not become waste for private end consumers after use,
- Sales and outer packaging for which system participation is not possible due to system incompatibility according to § 7 para. 5, and
- Sales packaging containing hazardous substances, or
- Reusable packaging.
Appropriate packaging material is used when the product is delivered, and we will take this back free of charge. In doing so, we ensure that the packaging material is returned to the recycling process. By informing you about the return options, we aim to achieve better results in the return of packaging and to contribute to meeting the European recycling targets according to 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.
