11 Jan 2024 --- The German plastic tax is postponed until 2025. Plastics industry associations are reacting with mixed responses, supporting the delay to refine tax details and condemning it due to the continued lack of addressing overproduction and pollution. In December, the German government had announced the introduction of a plastic tax without further specifying how it would be applied or who would be affected. At the beginning of 2024, the federal government decided to postpone the implementation of the tax until January 1, 2025, to work out the details.
