Regulation on the conditions for long-lasting packaging and on indicators that serve for long life packaging.

This Regulation, based on the provisions of the national Law on packaging management and packaging waste, prescribes the conditions for long-lasting packaging and indicates the types of packaging which are considered as long-life (boxes/containers for different items that are largely used and distributed, see article 3 for full list). The conditions under which certain items are classified as packaging with a long life are: to be proven to serve as a product for permanent use; that average service life should be at least five years; that usually gets discarded together with goods that are in such packaging, when its use ends.
