Many companies are struggling with high fixed costs which are not covered, says BVSE, and plastics recyclers in particular are facing difficult times.\u00a0 Paper recyclers, however, appear to have escaped the downward pull. Paper stocks built up in recent months have been reduced because demand for packaging has remained very high. Even so, quantities collected fell sharply, which is due in large part to the inactive commercial sector.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, BVSE\u2019s 950 member companies have welcomed compensation from the federal government for damage caused by the coronacrisis. In particular, says association frontman Rehbock, short-time worker regulation and the planned deferral of tax payments due from businesses affected by the pandemic \u2018help secure the urgently needed liquidity\u2019. \u2018No BVSE member has stopped their work. The private waste management sector has kept all waste disposal methods open to citizens but also to trade, crafts and industry, especially where municipal facilities have been closed or restricted,\u2019 he adds.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/recyclinginternational.com\/corona-virus\/crisis-having-huge-impact-on-german-recycling-sector\/30475\/\">Recycling International<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The coronavirus crisis has caused enormous damage to Germany\u2019s recycling and waste management industry. \u2018Companies are fighting for their existence,\u2019 says Eric Rehbock, managing director&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":26456,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_FSMCFIC_featured_image_caption":"","_FSMCFIC_featured_image_nocaption":null,"_FSMCFIC_featured_image_hide":null,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[31,40],"tags":[689,2791],"class_list":["post-11423","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-environmental-news-en","category-weben","tag-crisis","tag-german-recycling-sector","wpcat-31-id","wpcat-40-id"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/rsz_vaulogo.jpg?fit=100%2C58&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11423","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11423"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11423\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11425,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11423\/revisions\/11425"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26456"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11423"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11423"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11423"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
