Lieferkettensorgfaltspflichtengesetz (LkSG) Bußgelder und Ausschlussprotokolle
€8,000,000 maximum fine OR 2% of average annual revenue (if >€400M turnover) + 3-year public tender exclusion (unquantified revenue loss from tender exclusion typically 5-15% of eligible public contracts annually)The LkSG applies to companies with ≥1,000 employees operating in Germany. Non-compliance with due diligence obligations (risk analysis, preventive measures, remedial action for direct suppliers, grievance mechanism establishment, documentation, and 4-month annual reporting deadline to BAFA) triggers fines of up to €8,000,000 or 2% of average annual revenue (whichever is higher for companies >€400M turnover). Additionally, violators face exclusion from public tenders for up to 3 years. Outbound load-building and shipping documentation must evidence that suppliers have been assessed and that remedial action was taken where risks identified. Manual documentation processes create evidence gaps during BAFA audits, particularly regarding indirect supplier due diligence integration and remediation evidence trails.
Bußgelder bei fehlerhafter Gefährlichen Abfall Identifikation
€5.000–50.000 Bußgeld pro Verstoß; 20–50% höhere EPR-Gebühren für nicht-recycelbare VerpackungenFehlerhafte Identifikation von hazardous materials in recyclable streams verursacht Kontamination, was zu Bußgeldern, höheren EPR-Kosten und Recyclingquoten-Verfehlungen führt. Neue Standards ab 2026 erzwingen real-world Sortierbarkeit.
Kostenüberschreitungen durch manuelle Gefahrgut-Ablehnung
20–40 Stunden/Monat manueller Prüfungen; €2.000–5.000/Monat Entsorgungskosten für fehlerhafte RejectionsManuelle Protokolle blockieren Kapazitäten durch falsche Rejections oder Verarbeitung hazardous Material, was zu höheren Entsorgungskosten und EPR-Beiträgen führt.
Kosten der schlechten Qualität durch Kontaminationsrückstände
€10.000–100.000/Jahr Rework/Refunds; 75–95% Recyclingquoten-Verlust = höhere EPR bis €0,50/kgNicht erkanntes hazardous Material kontaminiert Recyclate, verursacht Qualitätsmängel downstream und führt zu Kompensationen oder Quotenausfällen.
