kogumispakendiga

Kogumispakendiga is an Estonian term used to indicate that a product is provided with packaging. The word is a compound formed from kogumis (collection) or gathering-related roots, pakend (packaging) and the instrumental suffix -iga, meaning “with.” In practice, the phrase signals that packaging accompanies the item and should be treated as packaging waste under relevant regulations.

In usage, kogumispakendiga appears mainly in formal contexts such as packaging and waste-management communications, product specifications, and regulatory texts. It can help distinguish between packaged and unpacked items and indicates responsibility for handling the packaging as waste. The term is more common in official or industry-language rather than everyday conversation.

Examples and notes: a label might state “Toode on kogumispakendiga,” meaning the product comes with packaging. The term does not specify the material of the packaging, only that packaging is included with the product. It is closely related to concepts such as pakend (packaging), packaging waste (kogumijäätmed), and recycling systems (ringlussevõtt), which govern how the packaging should be collected and processed after use.
