Packaging tax in Kassel: what's behind it?

Kassel could be facing a new packaging tax. After the Federal Constitutional Court recently confirmed the Tübingen packaging tax, BUND is now calling for a similar tax on disposable food and drink packaging in Kassel, which could also be applied to the surrounding area such as Göttingen. The model from Tübingen charges 50 cents per single-use packaging for food and drinks and 20 cents per cutlery and straw.

What does this mean for restaurants in Kassel?

Many Tübingen restaurateurs pass the tax on directly to their guests.
Customers then have the choice of paying the tax or using a returnable container for a deposit.
The deposit is refunded in full when the containers are returned.
