Glossary

Packaging recycling has formed an integral component of everyday life in Germany for 20 years now. In daily speech, it has contributed a wide array of terms such as “product responsibility” or “initial vendors” as well as abbreviations like “M37”. Many of these terms are now commonplace for us. But do you also know what “VerpackV-Konkret” means? Or do you know what the meaning behind the term “environmental impact assessment” is?

For everyone who would like to obtain comprehensive information about the recycling of sales packaging: the popular, compact lexicon is now updated. Just take a look, and you will know - right to the point!

Beverage carton
A beverage carton is a sales packaging made out of composite materials. Beverage cartons are comprised of cellulose pulp and plastic poly¬ethylene (PE) for filling with liquid or pasty foodstuffs. Beverage cartons for products with longer shelf-lives such as juices are, among others, coated with a layer of aluminum. The carton’s long, tear-resistant fibers are in great demand, for example, in the paper industry. The Federal Environmental Office has classified beverage cartons as an ecologically advantageous packaging in an environmental impact assessment.
