Reporting obligation for transport packaging

The take-back and reporting obligations in accordance with Sect. 15 of the German Packaging Act have also applied to the producers and distributors further along the supply chain of transport packaging since 3 July 2021. Final distributors must inform the end customer of the facilities for returning transport packaging and their purpose in an appropriate way.

What do “appropriate measures and reasonable scope” refer to?

This information might be provided, for example:

  • via a link to a website
  • in a shop (“clearly recognisable and legible inscription at the point of sale”)
  • in the product description for the affected product
  • in a flyer supplied along with the packaging
  • alongside the delivery note
  • alongside the invoice
  • directly on the packaging
  • in a letter addressed to the customer

Important:

  • The information must be clearly understandable!
  • General hints or non-separated classifications are prohibited.
  • Understandable, clear communication: HOW can WHAT be taken back? WHERE, WHY and in WHAT way is it to be returned?

Do you need help with your reporting obligation, especially when it comes to how to be clear?
