Anyone placing packaged goods (or shipping materials) on the German market must register with the Packaging Register and provide data on packaging quantities, participate in the system, and conclude a service contract. The complete product catalog provides a good overview of which products, with their respective system numbers, are subject to mandatory reporting and should comply with the regulations of other EU countries. Packaging types are also listed here, and system participation requirements are confirmed or excluded for each product. A service provided by the Central Office Packaging Register (ZVR), Germany.
