Legal background

The Electrical and Electronic Equipment Act, the Battery Act and the Packaging Act (in short: ElektroG, BattG & VerpackG) regulate, among other things, the offering/marketing, the taking back and the environmentally sound disposal of e-waste, waste batteries and packaging. The primarily goals are avoiding waste as well as encouraging reuse and environmentally sound recycling. In addition, the use of pollutants is to be reduced. The stakeholders of the ElektroG, BattG and VerpackG (including manufacturers, distributors, citizens, public waste management authorities, systems, waste management companies, etc.) have to fulfil a large number of obligations.
