Krefeld in fireworks fever: sales starts, customs controlled intensively!
In Krefeld, numerous parcels with fireworks are waiting for sale in local supermarkets. The official start of sales for rockets, firecrackers and batteries is scheduled for the coming Saturday. According to the fireworks industry, record revenue of 180 million euros is expected at this turn of the year. This sum refers to legal fireworks that are provided with a CE sign and meet the strict EU-wide safety, health and environmental protection requirements.
However, an increase in the use of fireworks without corresponding markings can be recorded. The Krefeld main customs office monitors the situation to confiscate illegal fireworks. A report by WZ emphasizes that the control of the security standards for the upcoming celebrations is of important importance.
forecasts and challenges of the fireworks industry
In many cities and municipalities, Böller berry zones were set up for New Year's Eve 2023 to protect celebrating from injuries and buildings from fires. The cities concerned include Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Hanover, Bremen, Nuremberg, Augsburg, Trier, Weimar and Göttingen. In addition, a year-round ban applies to pyrotechnics near church institutions, hospitals, as well as children's and old people's homes. Despite the criticism of fireworks, which relates to garbage, environmental and noise pollution as well as hazard hazards, the industry implements measures to reduce the garbage content, especially due to lower plastic proportion in the packaging. It is also noteworthy that 90 percent of the annual turnover of the industry is generated on the three working days before New Year's Eve.
