Food even more expensive? How you can avoid plastic tax with SmacoGlas and help your business maintain low prices

Jan 3, 2024by Janine Krause

You've probably already heard that a new plastic tax will apply in Germany from 2024. This tax is intended to encourage manufacturers and importers of single-use plastics to produce less plastic waste. Plastic waste is not only bad for the environment, but also costs a lot of money. The EU demands that Germany pay a levy of 80 cents per kilogram of unrecycled plastic waste. Until now, this tax has to be paid from the state budget, but from 2024 it will be passed on to manufacturers and importers. This means that many products packaged in plastic become more expensive. This particularly applies to foods such as cold cuts, cheese, fruit and vegetables.

But what can you do about it? Very simple: use SmacoGlas . SmacoGlas is the world's only stackable glass cold cuts box that you can take with you shopping with the entire system of seal and bag. With SmacoGlas you can have your cold cuts placed directly in the glass box without the retailer having to use plastic film or trays. This not only saves you plastic waste, but also money because the retailer does not have to pay plastic tax for your purchase. And you can look forward to fresh and healthy cold cuts that last up to two weeks in the glass box.

What do you get out of using SmacoGlas?

  • You save money: Let's say you buy 300 grams of cold cuts every week, which are usually packaged in 50 grams of plastic. This means that the retailer uses 2.6 kilograms of plastic per year for your cold cuts, which corresponds to a plastic tax of 2.08 euros. If you use SmacoGlas instead, you save the dealer this tax and can negotiate a cheaper price. You also save yourself the cost of plastic boxes or bags that you would otherwise need to store your cold cuts. That doesn't sound like much, right? But imagine that only 1,000 customers do this a year, then it's €2,080 that the dealer doesn't have to add to the prices.
  • You're doing something good for the environment: Glass is a sustainable and recyclable material that doesn't release harmful chemicals into your food. With SmacoGlas you reduce plastic consumption and the environmental pollution caused by plastic waste. So you are contributing to a clean and green planet. 🌍
  • You eat better: cold cuts packaged in plastic quickly lose their quality and taste. Plastic can also contain harmful substances such as bisphenol A (BPA) or plasticizers that can pass into food. With SmacoGlas you store your cold cuts in a hygienic and airtight glass box that preserves their taste and freshness. You can enjoy your cold cuts for up to two weeks without it becoming rancid or dry.
