T\u00fcbingen set an example: Most recently, the Higher Administrative Court classified the collection of a municipal packaging tax there as lawful. Other municipalities are following suit, including the city of Munich. A corresponding application has been submitted there, because in the fight against increasing littering, the taxation of reusable packaging and dishes is becoming increasingly relevant for municipalities. Attempts such as the one in T\u00fcbingen show that a local packaging tax can work in practice. <\/p>\n
Skeptics argue that municipal \u201cisolated solutions\u201d hinder a comprehensive strategy rather than promote it. Can the T\u00fcbingen model be transferred to a metropolis like Munich?
