Manufacture of malt
Malt manufacturers primarily supply breweries in bulk, using paper sacks, plastic-lined bags, and FIBCs. While predominantly B2B, any retail-sized malt products carry consumer packaging EPR obligations. Transit packaging used to ship bulk malt is also reportable when the manufacturer is the obligated party for that packaging layer.
