In May last year, Germany passed the latest packaging method, which will take effect in early 2019. It is reported that companies that sell goods in the German market will face a fine of up to 50,000 euros and a sales ban if they fail to comply with Germany's latest packaging law.


At present, there are still nearly half a year from the effective date, and export companies must be prepared.


German new packaging law is about to take effect, aiming at centralized recycling of packaging waste


As part of the bill, the recycling target for different packaging materials will increase, and by 2022, it will increase from the current 36% to 63%. The bill will also encourage reusable packaging with a goal of 70% reusable beverage packaging.


In addition, the bill will encourage packaging manufacturers to incorporate recyclability considerations into packaging design. All companies must register at the Packaging Center registration site to maintain market access.


Companies that use 50,000 kilograms of paper and cardboard should submit a Declaration of Conformity (DOC)


According to consulting firm LoraxCompliance, companies that produce more than 80,000 kilograms of glass, 50,000 kilograms of paper and cardboard, and 30,000 kilograms of aluminum, plastics and compounds sold in Germany should submit a Declaration of Conformity ( DOC)". Failure to do so may result in a fine of 50,000 Euros.


Lorax Compliance Chief Operating Officer Michelle Carvell explains: “Germany has set some ambitious future recycling targets that will greatly affect the future of the producers.”


This legislation applies to all manufacturers, importers, distributors and online retailers who place goods on the German market. All companies selling goods in Germany must be prepared to participate in a dual system in order to arrange packaging recycling after the use of the goods and to continue trading in Germany.
