In order to allocate the sub-chapter 15 01 it is necessary to determine whether the packaging/container is nominally empty (cf. Step P1 and P2 in Figure 2). It is suggested to understand ‘nominally empty’ in the sense that the product's contents were effectively removed. This removal can be achieved by draining or scraping. The circumstance that minimal residues of the contents are present in the packaging waste does not preclude the packaging waste to qualify as ‘nominally empty’ and does not prohibit the packaging waste from falling under subchapter 15 01 packaging waste.
