Packaging license: What do I have to do?
Before you sell your products, you need to license the related packaging according to the Packaging Act. This licensing is to ensure that the manufacturers contribute appropriately to the collection, sorting and recycling of their packaging. We explain the individual licensing steps to you so you can avoid sanctions.
With our partner Lizenzero, you can get the license online conveniently at home. As a Packiro customer, you will get a 5% discount on your license fee.

Background of the packaging licensing The licensing of packaging is defined in the Packaging Act. Businesses selling packaged products to end consumers should not only assume responsibility for their product but also for their product packaging. Responsibility in this case means that the manufacturers of packaging share in the costs for disposal and recycling process of the packaging materials. This works by means of the license from a Dual System against payment, which ensures the organisation of these individual processes. |

The Packaging Act is to ensure that much more packaging wastes from private households will be recycled. The aim is to increase the recycling quotas for plastics to 63 percent by 2022.
For this reason, incentives are crated as early as possible so that businesses will make increasing use of environmentally friendly and recyclable packaging for their products. Duales System organisations are therefore called upon to promote packaging that is easy to recycle and/or made of recycled or replenishable raw materials. Accordingly, the license fees are to be calculated by ecological criteria in the medium term. With our certified recyclable plastic packaging, you are therefore ideally prepared for future changes to the license fee calculation.
