What is new is that the registration obligation, which is stipulated in Section 9 of the Packaging Act, has been extended. It now also affects distributors of service packaging and also transport packaging.<\/p><p>In addition, it will become mandatory to charge a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.verpackungsregister.org\/fileadmin\/files\/Themenpapiere\/Fachinformation_Erweiterte_Pfandpflicht_ab_Januar_2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">deposit<\/a>on almost all non-refillable bottles containing beverages.

This excludes very thin plastic bags that are available in stores for customers to pack fruit and vegetables in. The thickness of these bags must not exceed 15 micrometers. Thicker carrier bags, whose wall thickness is at least 50 micrometers, are not covered by the ban.<\/p><p>The third change is that <b>recycling rates<\/b>must be <b>increased<\/b>by the dual systems. From January 1, 2022, 90 percent of packaging made of cardboard, paper and cardboard, glass, ferrous metals and aluminum must be collected for recycling or reuse. This represents an increase of ten percent. The proportion will also rise from 75 to 80 percent for beverage cartons and from 55 to 70 percent for other composite packaging. The rate of recycling as a material has been increased by the amendment from 58.5 to 63 percent.<\/p><p>Companies that produce <b>reusable packaging<\/b> are now subject to the same recycling and take-back obligations that previously applied to packaging. <span style=\"font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; color: var( --e-global-color-text ); font-family: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-family ), Sans-serif; background-color: var(--ast-global-color-5);\">This also affects distributors who pass on this packaging.
