First of all that's a weaker signal to the manufacturer/seller to make changes as it'd only indirectly affect them. It's also moot - in most (all?) European cities you only pay for waste but not recycling (paper, plastic

It hasn't even been formally approved by the cabinet. Right now it's just a political agreement between the coalition party. A law still has to be drafted that the cabinet can then submit to the Bundestag.
