Verpackungssteuer
What does this measure include? What is it about?
Seit dem Beschluss des BVerfG* im Januar 2025 dürfen Kommunen in Deutschland eine Verpackungssteuer auf Einweg-Verpackungen/Besteck/Becher erheben, um Müll und Ressourcenverschwendung zu reduzieren. Mit den (teilweise erheblichen) Einnahmen aus dieser Steuer können andere Klimaschutzmaßnahmen der Kommune finanziert werden.

Rot - keine Verpackungssteuer aktiv und auch nicht geplant
Orange - Beschluss gefasst, aber noch nicht in Kraft
Gelb - Verpackungssteuer existiert
Hellgrün - Verpackungssteuer existiert und mind. 8 von 14 Punkten erreicht
Dunkelgrün - Verpackungssteuer existiert und mind. 12 von 14 Punkten erreicht
Qualitätskriterien:
Nicht jede Umsetzung einer Verpackungssteuer ist gleich effektiv. Hier stehen einige Qualitätskriterien, gewichtet mit Punkten, welche die Verpackungssteuer in der Kommune erfüllen sollte.
Je 3 Punkte:
- das eingenommene Geld wird zweckgebunden für einen klimapositiven Zweck eingesetzt
Je 2 Punkte:
- keine Einschränkung beim Material
- keine Einschränkung bei Märkten, Festen oder anderen zeitlich befristeten Veranstaltungen
- Unterstützungsmechanismen für die betroffene Gastronomie (z.B. Mehrwegförderung)
- Abdeckung von Getränken (Einwegbecher)
- Abdeckung von Speisen (Einwegverpackung oder Einweggeschirrteil)
Je 1 Punkt:
- Abdeckung von Besteck (Einwegbesteck-Set)
Feasibility assessment
What does this measure achieve? Why does it help?
How to find out whether this measure has been adopted:
Dazu gibt es zwingend einen Beschluss im Ratsinformationssystem. Das Thema ist allerdings aktuell auch so öffentlichkeitswirksam, dass sich garantiert mehrere Zeitungsartikel/Pressemitteilungen dazu leicht auffinden lassen.
Bitte bei der Begründung der Bewertung aufschlüsseln, welche Qualitätskriterien erfüllt wurden und wieviele Punkte das insgesamt ergibt, damit die Bewertung transparent und verständlich ist :)
In Bayern ist die Erhebung der Verpackungssteuer von der Landesregierung Mitte 2025 verboten worden, d.h. alle Kommunen in Bayern erhalten hier zwingend Rot.
