Packaging tax in Münster: Sustainable alternatives with circ Nette reusable containers

Packaging tax in Münster: status as of 18.03.2025

The introduction of a packaging tax is currently being discussed in Münster. While some political groups are in favor of this measure, some parties are firmly opposed to it. They argue that additional burdens for Münster's businesses are not sustainable at the present time. Nevertheless, the possibility of such a tax remains on the table, especially after the ruling of the Federal Constitutional Court, which confirmed the packaging tax in Tübingen as lawful.
