Packaging tax in Darmstadt: reusable to-go containers as a smart solution for catering businesses

But what does this mean for restaurants in Darmstadt?

With the planned packaging tax, disposable packaging, crockery and cutlery could soon be subject to an additional charge. Specifically, this means: 50 cents per disposable container for food, 50 cents per cup and 20 cents per set of cutlery. These amounts quickly add up - especially for restaurants with a high proportion of to-go business.

An example: If you serve 100 meals and 50 drinks a day in disposable packaging, you pay an additional 75 euros a day - that's almost 2,250 euros a month.
