WORKED EXAMPLE  -  invented training quantities, not a filing
Germany, illustrative 1000-shipment batch:
Box: 120 g x 1 box/shipment x 1000 shipments / 1000 = 120.000 kg.
Paper filler: 10 g x 1 portion/shipment x 1000 / 1000 = 10.000 kg.
Plastic tape: 2 g x 1 portion/shipment x 1000 / 1000 = 2.000 kg.
Paper/cardboard subtotal: 130.000 kg. Plastic subtotal: 2.000 kg.
Combined physical mass: 132.000 kg, not one material-reporting category.

CHECK BEFORE REUSING
- Weigh packaging without the product; do not use parcel gross weight.
- Split materials and destinations; keep multi-part components identifiable.
- Record estimates as estimates. Replace with measurements when available.
- Do not double count components shared by multiple products in one parcel.
- Recheck weights when the supplier, size or packaging version changes.
- Totals do not decide which packaging is reportable; confirm scope separately.
