Reusable products in Düsseldorf: protection from the municipal packaging tax and sustainable gastronomy

The Administrative Court in Tübingen has confirmed the legality of the municipal packaging tax with its ruling. This decision could lead to cities such as Düsseldorf also examining their own packaging tax. Catering businesses in the region should prepare for such a development in good time. Our circ Nette reusable packaging offers a future-proof solution that helps you to avoid tax costs and operate more sustainably at the same time.

What does the court ruling mean for restaurateurs in Düsseldorf?

Municipal packaging tax in Tübingen as a model? The court ruling confirms that cities can introduce their own packaging tax. Düsseldorf and other municipalities in NRW could follow this example.
Possible tax burden for restaurateurs: In Tübingen, the tax is 50 cents per disposable packaging for food and drinks and 20 cents per set of cutlery. Such charges could also be introduced in Düsseldorf.
Avoidable additional costs: Those who switch to reusable products can avoid the additional tax costs.

The solution: Reusable Packaging as an Answer to the Packaging Tax

Reusable products are the sustainable and economically sensible alternative to single-use packaging. The circ Nette reusable packaging is not only eco-friendly but can also be used "tax-free." The success of this concept is demonstrated by the example of Tübingen: Many gastronomic businesses there have already successfully implemented reusable solutions, thereby circumventing the municipal packaging tax.

Our Reusable Packaging for the Hospitality Industry in Düsseldorf

To offer a practical solution to businesses in Düsseldorf, our range includes various reusable packaging options: reusable cups for to-go drinks, reusable boxes and bowls for food, as well as special reusable solutions for events and catering. These products offer numerous benefits: they are tax-free, made from durable, long-lasting materials, and allow for hygienic cleaning and easy handling.

How You Save Costs with Reusable Packaging

Switching to reusable packaging can bring significant savings. A simple example shows the potential savings:
With 100 to-go drinks sold daily, a packaging tax of 50 euros per day would apply. An additional 20 euros would be added for 100 sets of cutlery. With a reusable solution, these additional costs are completely eliminated, as customers pay a deposit for the reusable containers and get their money back upon return.
