Return of Packaging Materials

Information on the Obligation to Accept Returned Packaging Materials

Under the current Packaging Act, pursuant to Section 15(1), sentence 1, of the VerpackG, we are required to accept the following packaging materials from end consumers free of charge:

  • Transport packaging, such as pallets, large packaging units, etc.,
  • Sales and outer packaging that, after use, typically do not become waste in the hands of private end users,
  • Sales and outer packaging for which participation in the system is not possible due to system incompatibility under Section 7(5), and
  • Sales packaging for products containing hazardous substances or
  • Reusable packaging.

Appropriate packaging materials are used when the product is delivered, and we accept their return free of charge. In this way, we ensure that the packaging material is returned to the recycling cycle. By providing information about return options, we aim to achieve better results in packaging recovery and contribute to meeting the European recycling targets set forth in EU Directive 94/62/EC.

As a consumer, you can return the packaging materials at the location where they were actually handed over or in its immediate vicinity.
