Abstract
There is global consensus for developing a circular economy and building green societies. As the two leading countries in their regions in this field, both China and Germany want to reduce the environmental impacts of waste and avoid the programme of “NIMBY” and have accumulated much experience in waste reduction and gradient utilisation of waste. “Pay As You Throw”, “Green Dot” system and “trade in policy (the new for old policy)” have all proven to lead to higher recycling rates and the minimisation of waste in the past 30–40 years. The article shows how German waste legislation developed to achieve the actual recycling rates. Though Germany follows the European laws, above this it has set a number of even stricter requirements, which are summarised in this paper. The main strategies for implementing source separation are described, while potentials are detected for certain waste fractions like plastics and textiles.
