First, legal guidance on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gebaeudeforum.de\/ordnungsrecht\/gmodg\/fortgeltende-regelungen\/\">existing building standards protection (fortgeltende Regelungen)<\/a> protects load-bearing concrete frames and masonry that met code at initial build, removing forced-upgrade penalties and preventing unnecessary structural demolition during adaptive reuse projects. Second, Section 88b of the GModG transposes the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD) into national law, legally mandating whole-life carbon calculations, covering material extraction, transport, and deconstruction, for public buildings starting in 2028 and all new builds by 2030. Together, these provisions reward developers for locking in existing embodied carbon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-simple-link is-style-simple-link--12\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-small-font-size has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gebaeudeforum.de\/ordnungsrecht\/gmodg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mehr lesen<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Berlin voted and the packaging tax will now be decided by the upcoming coalition.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Die Linke won with 25.7%, and is now in talks with the Greens and SPD to form a coalition.

Simultaneously, designs that raise the value of a pack are expected to reduce the likelihood of waste leaking into the river, ocean, or terrestrial ecosystems. The Consumer Goods Forum\u2019s (CGF) Plastic Waste Coalition of Action has recently released a paper showing how packaging design changes can improve recycling outcomes, reduce the amount of plastic waste that ends up in the environment and raise living standards for sector workers in low and middle-income countries (LMICs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-simple-link is-style-simple-link--16\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-small-font-size has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theconsumergoodsforum.com\/packaging-design-in-low-and-middle-income-countries\/?ref=packagingeurope.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mehr lesen<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Emil Fischer Schule Wins &#8220;Umweltschule in Europa&#8221; Award<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are proud to announce that Emil Fischer Schule has once again been awarded the prestigious &#8220;Umweltschule in Europa&#8221; title!
