Information on the obligation to take back packaging material

Pursuant to Section 15 (1) sentence 1 of the German Packaging Act (VerpackG), 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 does not accrue as waste at private end consumers after use,
- sales and outer packaging for which participation in a system is not possible due to system incompatibility pursuant to Section 7 (5), and
- sales packaging for goods containing hazardous substances or
- reusable packaging.

When the product is delivered, the corresponding packaging material is used, which we take back free of charge. In doing so, we ensure the return of the packaging material to the recycling cycle. By providing information about the return options, better results in the return of packaging are to be achieved and a contribution to meeting the European recycling targets in accordance with EU Directive 94/62/EC is to be ensured.

As an end consumer, you can return the packaging material to the place of actual handover or in its immediate vicinity.
