FAQ
The responsibility lies with the primary obligated parties. Primary obligated parties are packers, importers, own importers and mail order companies (including foreign ones) as well as manufacturers and importers of service packaging based in Austria. Primary obligated parties must participate in a competent collection and recovery system with the household packaging they put into circulation.
The quantity reports are due on the 15th of the month following the reporting period (e.g. the report for January on February 15, the report for the 1st quarter on April 15, the annual report by January 15 of the following year). Our online portal is available for this purpose. You will receive access data as part of the contract processing.
The Waste Management Act provides clear guidelines for the classification of Packaging based on the size and type of the source of waste generation. Distribution channel analyses are no longer permitted.
Packaging or the packaged products must be assigned to the respective product group in accordance with the delimitation ordinance. The assignment of products to the product groups is binding. It is not permitted to change the product group definition.
The Packaging Ordinance (VVO) regulates this according to the annual license fee per household and business:
- <1.500€ – Annual report
- >20.000€ – Monthly report
- in between – Quarterly report
Participants who do not place more than 1,500 kg of household or commercial packaging on the market in a calendar year can take advantage of flat rates.
After signing and sending the contract, your license or manufacturer number will be sent to you. Here you will also be given access to the area on our online portal to receive your confirmation of participation.

In addition, packaging licensing with Interzero also gives you the good feeling of doing the right thing for environmental protection. Interzero is the only collection system that already offers completely closed material cycles. The collected packaging is processed into the patented secondary raw material Procyclen. In contrast to conventional plastics, this plastic is produced entirely without crude oil, which not only saves a lot of energy, but also produces up to 50 percent less environmentally and climate-damaging greenhouse gases.
Procyclen is used, for example, to produce laundry baskets, transport boxes or even packaging – in the same quality as new goods. In this way, Interzero creates something that others only talk about: The recycling loop is closed. Interzero thus minimizes dependence on primary raw materials. And that is, after all, the supreme discipline of recycling! With a packaging commitment to Interzero (household and commercial), you are not only relying on almost 20 years of system expertise, you are also protecting the environment and actively helping to secure the supply of raw materials in the long term.
