The German battery registration board has published information on the security deposit for batteries depending on battery type, chemical composition, disposal costs and return rate. It can be assumed that the authorised take-back systems will pass on the costs for the security deposit to the system participants.

System participation obligation for packaging in Germany

A report by the German government praises the efficient cooperation between the packaging register and the state enforcement authorities in enforcing the Packaging Act (VerpackG). The report makes clear that only around a third of producers who, according to their own information in LUCID, are required to prove system participation have actually done so. Those who cannot provide evidence of system participation should take action now.
