Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg is planning to introduce a tax to disposable packaging to reduce garbage and finance disposal

Der Bezirk Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg plant die Einführung einer Steuer auf Einwegverpackungen, um die Müllvermeidung zu fördern und die Entsorgungskosten zu finanzieren.

The Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district plans to introduce a tax to disposable packaging to promote waste prevention and finance the disposal costs. According to the district office, around 42,000 plastic and paper cups are thrown away in this district alone.

disposable packaging, such as plastic and paper cups, contribute significantly to pollution. They are usually only used once and then disposed of. This creates a lot of garbage that is often not disposed of in an environmentally friendly manner. The introduction of a tax for disposable packaging is therefore not only used for environmental protection, but also the cost coverage for disposal.

The introduction of this tax is intended to create an incentive to avoid disposable packaging and instead to use more environmentally friendly alternatives. Reusable packaging, such as reusable cups, are a way to reduce the consumption of disposable packaging. They can be used several times and therefore cause less garbage.

The tax income is to be used to finance the disposal costs. The environmentally friendly disposal of waste is expensive and is a major challenge for the municipalities. The income from the tax could help cover these costs and thus reduce the financial burden on the district.

A similar tax on disposable packaging has already been introduced in other regions and has shown positive effects. On the one hand, significantly fewer disposable packaging were used, on the other hand, the income from the tax for environmentally friendly projects could be used.

The introduction of a tax on disposable packaging in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg has not yet been decided. It is only a proposal of the district office. A decision about this still has to be made by the district parliament.

Overall, this proposal shows that the Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg district actively campaigns for environmental protection and takes measures to promote waste prevention. A tax on disposable packaging could make an important contribution to reducing the consumption of disposable products and reducing environmental pollution.
