What Impact Will the Court Ruling Have on Restaurateurs in Leipzig?

Is the municipal packaging tax a model for Leipzig? The ruling shows that cities have the option to introduce their own packaging tax. Leipzig may follow suit.
What could the tax burden be for restaurateurs? In Tübingen, the tax is 50 cents per single-use food and beverage packaging and 20 cents per set of cutlery. Similar fees could also apply in Leipzig.
Avoidable additional costs: Switching to reusable products allows restaurateurs to avoid these extra tax costs.

Reusable Packaging as an Answer to the Packaging Tax

Reusable products offer a sustainable and economically sensible alternative to single-use packaging. The circ Nette reusable packaging is not only environmentally friendly but also "tax-free." In Tübingen, many restaurants have successfully switched to reusable solutions to avoid the municipal packaging tax.

Our Reusable Packaging for Food Service Businesses in Leipzig

For food service businesses in Leipzig, we offer a wide selection of reusable packaging: including reusable cups for to-go drinks, sturdy reusable boxes and trays for food, as well as customized solutions for events and catering. These products are known for their durability, ease of use, and hygienic cleaning, meeting the high demands of the food service industry.

Cost Savings Through the Use of Reusable Packaging

Switching to reusable products can lead to significant savings. A simple calculation demonstrates the potential:
If a restaurateur sells 100 to-go drinks daily, a packaging tax of about 50 euros per day would apply. Additionally, 20 euros per day would be added for 100 sets of cutlery. By using reusable solutions, these additional costs are completely eliminated, as customers pay a deposit for the containers and get it refunded when they return them.
