(Image: obs\/ZSV\/Cornelia Borck)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<blockquote><p>\u201eOnly those who bear the financial responsibility for the disposal of all packaging think about avoidance and better recycling. In the era of the Packaging Ordinance, many companies have developed a decreasingly legally compliant practice. This urgently needs to change, and we want to make this clear to all companies that have not yet scrutinised their own implementation,\u201c says <strong>Gunda Rachut<\/strong>, Director of the Central Agency Packaging Register.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As the large quantities of packaging are also placed on the market by large companies, it makes sense to start the measures there. In this respect, the first case reports <strong>Corporate issues with high packaging volumes and below-average legal compliance<\/strong> concern. According to Section 26 VerpackG, the ZSVR must hand over information on specific indications of administrative offences together with the evidence to the state enforcement authorities. These are then responsible for the fine proceedings in the next step. <strong>Anyone who does not comply with the obligations must expect corresponding consequences<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The now published <strong>first case report \u201eGarden centre\u201c<\/strong> summarises the key facts relating to packaging volumes for the reference year 2018 in a company in the horticultural sector with an associated mail order business. The <strong>concrete evidence of the packaging law violations<\/strong> presented. In this first case report, this concerns <strong>the obligations to participate in the system<\/strong> and to file a declaration of completeness. Furthermore, it is explained which <strong>far-reaching consequences<\/strong> can threaten.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201eThe start has been made. From now on, the ZSVR will regularly publish further case reports. This will help companies to check their compliance in the area of product responsibility. By publishing case reports, we are fulfilling our duty to provide information and ensuring that companies fulfil their product responsibility,\u201c explains <strong>Gunda Rachut<\/strong> fixed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>In conclusion, she summarises: \u201e<strong>Recycling does not come for free<\/strong>, It needs a healthy market. Only if we ensure that the <strong>Fair and equitable financing<\/strong> is adopted by all obligated parties, the objectives of the Packaging Act can be achieved.\u201c<\/p>\n<p><em>Source: ZSVR<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Central Agency Packaging Register (ZSVR) is now publishing case reports that transparently present the facts of violations of the Packaging Act.","protected":false},"author":20,"featured_media":26512,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"__cvm_playback_settings":[],"__cvm_video_id":"","rank_math_description":"","rank_math_focus_keyword":"","rank_math_title":"","csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[114,111],"tags":[65,43,31,57805],"class_list":{"0":"post-32428","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-aus-den-unternehmen-news","8":"category-maerkte","9":"tag-abfalltechnik-und-recycling","10":"tag-aus-den-unternehmen","11":"tag-nachhaltigkeit-und-green-packaging","12":"tag-zsvr","13":"cs-entry","14":"cs-video-wrap"},"acf":[],"vimeo_video":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32428","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/20"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32428"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32428\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26512"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32428"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/packaging-journal.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
