Tübingen packaging tax: a ruling that has an impact

Tübingen has led the way: since the introduction of the municipal packaging tax, catering businesses in the city have had to pay for disposable packaging. This tax of 50 cents per packaging, 20 cents for cutlery and drinking straws, was confirmed by the Federal Constitutional Court, which means that other cities in Baden-Württemberg could follow suit. A court ruling clarifying that the tax is legal could lead to its widespread introduction in other cities too.
