Packaging and Packaging Waste Services

Business operators that introduce packaged goods on the market are responsible for the primary, secondary, and tertiary packaging used for their products.

• Business operators that overpackage products that are packaged individually for the purpose of resell/ redistribution are responsible for the secondary and tertiary packaging they introduce on the market.
• Business operators that introduce sales packaging on the market are responsible for that packaging.
• Business operators that rent packaging are responsible for the packaging they rent. Reusable packaging can be rented (crates, pallets), and it is declared when they are introduced on the market for the first time.

Business operators, Romanian legal entities, responsible for introducing packaging on the market can meet recovery targets through recycling or incineration using these methods:

• Individually, by managing packaging waste resulted from own packaging
• Responsibility takeover.

Business operators generating waste have the obligation to keep records on how they manage each type of generated waste.
