Obligation to provide proof for transport packaging

From 1 January 2022 onwards, producers of transport packaging have also been required to be able to provide proof that the take-back and recovery requirements have been fulfilled. Until that date, only packaging items subject to mandatory system participation and packaging with hazardous fillers were subject to this obligation, but now it has been expanded to include all packaging types.

By 15 May each year, all packaging which has been put on the market, returned and recycled must be documented in verifiable form and submitted to the federal state authorities where requested.

Suitable self-monitoring measures must be set up. The documents do not require uploading (e.g. to the packaging register), but rather must be kept ready to be shown to the correct authorities upon request.

What are “suitable self-monitoring measures”? (the following is for illustrative purposes only and does not represent all the possible measures)

  • Prepare company guidelines and check regularly they are being complied with (e.g. “We have defined a series of guidelines and objectives, and provide regular feedback on compliance with them”.)
  • Independent actions
  • Regular information on the areas involved
  • Active inclusion of all stakeholders
  • Understandable, clear communication
