Information on the obligation to take back packaging material

Under the current German Packaging Act (VerpackG), we are obliged to take back the following packaging materials from end consumers free of charge in accordance with Section 15 (1) sentence 1 VerpackG:

• Transport packaging, such as pallets, bulk packaging, etc.,
• Sales and secondary packaging that does not typically accumulate as waste with private final consumers after use,
• Sales and secondary packaging for which system participation is not possible due to system incompatibility pursuant to Section 7 (5), and
• Sales packaging of filling goods containing harmful substances or
• Reusable packaging.

When the product is delivered, appropriate packaging material is used, which we take back free of charge. In this way, we ensure that the packaging material is returned to the recycling cycle. By providing information about the return options, we aim to achieve better results in the return of packaging and ensure a contribution to meeting the European recycling targets in accordance with EU Directive 94/62/EC.

As the end consumer, you can hand in the packaging material at the place where it is actually handed over or in the immediate vicinity.
