Packaging licensing

Packaging licensing with activate – by Reclay

The Reclay corporate group has been successfully implementing its concepts in the fields of recycling, environmental protection and sustainability since 2002. The company is a leading supplier of return solutions in Germany and, via its subsidiary Reclay Systems GmbH, operates two compliance schemes for its customers. Activate - by Reclay was developed for packaging licensing specifically for traders and retailers who produce a relatively small volume of packaging. They can enter their packaging volumes and receive their quantity certification , which serves as evidence to the waste authorities that their packaging participates in a compliance scheme, in just a few easy steps. In accordance with the currently valid version of the Packaging Ordinance, packaging licensing, i.e. the participation of the packaging distributed in a compliance scheme, is not only a legally prescribed obligation for large suppliers of packed goods, but also for smaller manufacturers and even mail-order companies. This also includes traders on online platforms who only distribute a small number of products per year. As a manufacturer or distributor of goods packaging, you must participate in a compliance scheme with your sales packaging, if you are the first party to introduce it into circulation. Reclay Systems GmbH ensures legally-compliant packaging licensing and fulfils the strict legal stipulations of the Packaging Ordinance. In addition, you can receive advice on all matters relating to the legally compliant return and recycling upon request.
