But phoeberuth's suggestion isn't neutral - it says "pay the charges", and I'm not clear whether that's the meaning.
Wendy Streitparth Mar 20, 2013:
@ Phil: at a guess, I'd say this was paid for in advance. But if it is uncertain, phoeberuth's suggestion is sufficiently neutral to cover both possibilities.

Is this Austria, Silvia? I'm not clear whether it means actually collecting and recycling the packaging, or reimbursing the fee paid by the customer to have it recycled.
Phoebe Indetzki Mar 19, 2013:
Reword My guess is that it will be hard to find a single English word to cover "Entpflichtung". Maybe you could reword to something like "The supplier shall pay all waste and recycling charges for packaging used for deliveries..."

"... must be transferred to an authorized recycling vendor"

"... must be transferred to an authorized (approved) recycling vendor"

"Entpflichtung" seems to be an Austrian term addressing the legal obligation to recycle packaging materials through an approved vendor as prescribed by the Austrian Verpackungsverordnung.

See link below:

"Durch Beauftragung eines zugelassenen Sammel- und Verwertungssystems wird diese Verpflichtung einem dafür spezialisierten Unternehmen übertragen, was als "Entpflichtung" bezeichnet wird."
