Background of the packaging licensing
The licensing of packaging is regulated by the Packaging Act. Companies that sell packaged goods to end consumers should not only take responsibility for their product, but also for their packaging.
In this case, responsibility means that manufacturers and retailers of packaging contribute to the costs of the disposal and recycling process of the packaging materials. This works through licensing with a dual system, which takes care of the organisation of these individual processes.
Best prepared with our recyclable packaging
The Packaging Act aims to create incentives as early as possible so that companies increasingly use environmentally friendly and recyclable packaging for their products. Accordingly, the calculation of licence fees is to be based on ecological criteria in the medium term. With our certified recyclable plastic packaging, you are well prepared for the future.
