To-go cups, salad bowls, balloons, cigarette butts and fireworks have one thing in common – they are made of single-use plastic and far too often end up in streets, parks or bodies of water after use. Even the extremely costly collection by cities and municipalities does not achieve a complete ridding of the environment of single-use plastic. On 15.05.2023, the German version of plastic taxation has been published as Einwegkunststofffondsgesetz (Single-Use Plastic Fund Act) has now been published. Companies should use the next few months to check whether they are affected and what preparations they need to make until the entry into force on 01.01.2024.
