According to § 12 No. 1 of the Packaging Act (VerpackG), reusable packaging is exempt from the system participation obligation. Nonetheless, evidence of the reuse and recycling of reusable packaging must be provided pursuant to § 15 (3) VerpackG. Since 1 July 2022, there is also an obligation to register the packaging with the Central Office.
You must report the total annual quantity of packaging. The Dual System report is sent to the Central Office. Depending on the system partner, you must always report the annual quantity in the middle of the year. The remaining quantity must be reported as precisely as possible (planned quantities).
Upon request, we will send you a report from us on the material fractions purchased in a given period. You do not have to start calculating the split yourself. Just get in touch with us!
