The introduction of the disposable dumping system also influences the buying behavior of the consumer. As a Yougov survey shows, many people have chosen products that are not influenced by the down payment, such as syrup.
Nevertheless, 70 percent of the respondents are positive about the recording system of the bottle, about half of the deposits have already returned and comes from a broadcast on Wednesday.

According to the survey, a challenge is primarily the storage of empty packaging in the household. Since January 1, 2025, the disposable deposits have been effective on all drink bottles made of disposable plastic and aluminum doses from 0.1 to three liters. Consumers pay 25 cents as a down payment. If you return the empty, hindered bottles and cans with a readable label, you will also receive the money back. For example, no down payment is inserted for drink cartons, milk and medical products or for syrup.
“The fact that many consumers deliberately switch to non-curved products is a clear sign of how the new deposit system immediately influences buying behavior,” said Yougov Drinks expert Katrin Amlacher. The opinion research institute interviews on the subject in three waves, in March, July and 1,000 people and wants to increase long -term developments in dealing with disposable packaging in Austria.
