Avoid packaging tax in Saxony: Sustainable solutions with circ Nette reusable containers

In Saxony, the discussion about introducing a packaging tax is gaining momentum. Cities such as Leipzig and Chemnitz are already examining appropriate measures to reduce the amount of waste caused by disposable packaging. With circ Nette reusable containers, we offer a sustainable and economical alternative that not only protects the environment, but also helps to avoid potential additional costs.

Current status of the packaging tax in Saxony

Following the example of Tübingen, where a packaging tax of 50 cents has been levied on disposable packaging for food and drinks and 20 cents on disposable cutlery and drinking straws since 2022, cities in Saxony are also considering introducing such a tax. Leipzig and Chemnitz are currently looking into implementing it, while Dresden is currently refraining from introducing it due to financial bottlenecks and the administrative burden. A landmark ruling by the Federal Constitutional Court confirmed the legality of the Tübingen tax, paving the way for other cities to introduce similar measures.

To keep you up to date on the status of the packaging tax for the following cities and municipalities in Saxony, you can find information in the following list.
  • Cities: Leipzig, Dresden, Chemnitz, Zwickau and Plauen
  • Municipalities: Görlitz, Bautzen, Freiberg, Radebeul and Meißen

Experiences from Tübingen: Reusable as a model for success

In Tübingen, restaurateurs pass on the packaging tax on disposable products to their customers and in return offer guests a choice of reusable containers. To avoid the tax, many businesses rely on reusable containers that are issued against a deposit. This system not only promotes sustainability, but also retains customers who return to the business to return the containers.
