Bus/Financial - Environment & Ecology / waste
German term or phrase: verursachergerecht
In "verursachergerechte Abrechnung der Müllentsorgung"
I have found "causation-based" but don't really like it in this context. Does anybody have a better idea?

Thanks to everybody for the helpful suggestions. Source-based fitted best in the sentence but I also liked the "polluter pays" principle.

eine Abrechnung that is suited to the polluter


Explanation:
It seems to me that the Verursacher here is probably a polluter so the Abrechnung must be one that is appropriate to the polluter and/or whatever the polluter has done.
Maybe: polluter-oriented or the like

(according to the) "polluter pays" principle


Explanation:
Taking Fred's "polluter" suggestion one step further ... Your phrase would thus read "waste disposal invoicing according to [in accordance with] the 'polluter pays' [polluter-pays] principle"

Very common term in this context - see
