Information on the obligation to take back packaging material
Under the current Packaging Act, pursuant to Section 15 (1) sentence 1 of the Packaging Act, 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 do not become waste at private end consumers after use,
- Sales and outer packaging for which participation in a system is not possible due to incompatibility with the system pursuant to Section 7 (5), and
- Sales packaging of hazardous bulk goods or
- Reusable packaging.
Corresponding packaging material is used when delivering the product, and we take it back free of charge. In this way, we ensure that the packaging material is returned to the recycling cycle. Providing information about return options is intended to achieve better results in returning packaging and to ensure a contribution to meeting the European recovery targets under EU Directive 94/62/EC.
As an end consumer, you can return the packaging material at the place where it was actually handed over or in its immediate vicinity.
