2. How is sales packaging defined?
Packaging is defined as products manufactured from materials of any nature for the containment, protection, handling, delivery and presentation of goods, which may range from raw materials to processed products and are passed on by manufacturers to the distributor or final consumer.
Sales packaging is packaging that is made available as a sales unit and arises at the final consumer, i.e. in private households and at comparable places where packaging arises. Sales packaging within the meaning of the Ordinance also includes such packaging provided by retailers, restaurants and other service providers as facilitates or supports the transfer of goods to the final consumer (service packaging). These include, for example, plastic carrier bags, paper carrier bags, disposable dishes and disposable cutlery.
