The law regulates the national implementation of the EU directive in Germany and will apply from 01.01.2024. The Single-Use Plastics Fund Act introduces the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) for certain single-use plastic products.  <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The law stipulates that producers and distributors of single-use plastic products and packaging pay into a joint fund on a pro rata basis.  <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This fund will then be used to cover for instance the costs of cleaning public spaces of these products and their packaging or waste management measures. <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The fund also finances awareness-raising measures to educate people about the consequences of littering. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"> <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Aims of the Law<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{\"> <\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The primary objectives of this law are to reduce environmental pollution, promote recycling and raise public awareness of the problems caused by single-use plastics.
