How is GERMAN SUSTAINABILITY perceived in the daily life?

Short Description

Germany is known for its sustainability and green practices, such as recycling, waste separation, and composting. People can also participate in gardening, growing their own vegetables and tomatoes, and innovating with eco-friendly products. The plastic bottle recycling system, where empty bottles are refunded with Pfand, helps reduce waste and promotes recycling. By participating, everyone can contribute to a more sustainable and eco-friendly Germany.

Learning Objectives

  • Recognise key sustainability practices in Germany, such as recycling, waste separation, composting, and the Pfand bottle return system.
  • Explore how everyday eco-friendly behaviours can be adapted and applied within small business operations.
  • Identify opportunities for micro-businesses to engage in sustainable product innovation and local food production (e.g. urban gardening).
  • Develop strategies to involve customers and communities in sustainable practices, contributing to a circular and eco-conscious economy.
