Packaging is often a part of a long supply and distribution chain in which it is made available several times. Regardless of whether the packaging is further made available in the same Member State or the size of the economic operator, the producer is the economic operator who makes the packaging available for the first time in the Member State. Making available on the market includes any offer for distribution, consumption or use which could result in the actual supply of packaging or packaged products. In the case of online sales, the offering of a product directly to an end user is considered as making available on the market in the Member State of the end user.
