Do recyclable packaging and recycled content lower my dual-system fees?

They should. § 26(1) VerpackDG: dual systems must create incentives, through how they set participation fees, for packaging made of materials and material combinations that can be recycled to the highest possible share given actual sorting and recycling practice, and for the use of recycled material and renewable raw materials. § 26(2): each system reports by 1 June to ZSVR and the Federal Environment Agency how it did this. § 26(3): until EU rules under Article 6(4) PPWR apply, ZSVR publishes a minimum standard for assessing recyclability each year by 1 September.
