A Disposal Unit is the primary grouping of one or more packaging elements that are physically connected and intended to be discarded together by the consumer/end-user into a single collection system.

This unit represents the packaging's final form at its end-of-life and is classified by its intended disposal method:

  • Throw-Away Unit (TAU): A Disposal Unit intended for collection through standard municipal waste streams (e.g., household recycling, public bins, or general waste).
  • Deposit Return Unit (DRU): A Disposal Unit intended to be returned by the consumer through a specific Deposit Return System (DRS) to reclaim a deposit.
