Abstract
This Act provides the general requirements for packaging and the use of packaging, the measures preventing or reducing the generation of packaging, the organisation of a system for recovery of packaging and packaging waste, the requirements for audit of the data to be submitted to the packaging register, and the liability for failure to comply with the established requirements. This Act covers all packaging placed on the market in the Republic of Estonia and all packaging waste, whether it is used or released at industrial, commercial, household, office or any other level, regardless of the material used. This Act regulates the handling of packaging waste insofar as this is not regulated by the Waste Act. In cases where packaging is subject to requirements established by other legislation such as those regarding safety, the protection of health or transport, the Packaging Act applies with the specifications arising from such legislation.
