Glass bottles: the return of deposits

A new deposit return system to encourage recycling of empty drink containers kicked off in Slovakia on Saturday, January 1, 2022.

Coca-Cola recently announced that “by 2030, the company aims to have at least 25% of all beverages globally across its portfolio of brands sold in refillable/returnable glass or plastic bottles, or in refillable containers through traditional fountain or Coca-Cola Freestyle dispensers. “

Although Germans are still used to the glass bottle deposit system, in France anyone under the age of twenty has never heard of it: the practice pretty much stuttered to a halt in the 1980s. However, various local initiatives are reviving it to satisfy consumers who are more aware of the importance of consuming responsibly: the zero waste challenge, the popularity of buying loose products and short distribution channels have all contributed to the comeback of deposits.
