If bottles or looks do not return, the 25 cents remain in the system. The so -called “Pfanddchlupf” plays the recycling organization and is an essential part of the financing.
The refusers of the unpopular deposit system of all people contribute a lot to their financing. Currently, millions of deposit containers do not end up in the return machine, but are reported by consumers in the waste or on the street – the “Kroon” reported. But the 25 cents that customers leave behind the Recycling Pfand Austria, who process the return, collecting and transport.
This is how -“pfandschloff” even plays the non -profit organization “Recycling Pfand Austria”. Because it grazes the 25 cents and therefore indirectly finances the system (central, etc.).
Dealers always receive the reimbursement
Incidentally, it makes no difference for dealers, whether the bottle is returning or not. Because they receive a cost allowance (handling of fee) per link sold. It doesn’t matter if the customer brings the can or the bottle back to the supermarket. The dealers only save the effort for which they were previously compensated.
How high the “pawn Liège” is, cannot be said exactly, many bottles and cans are currently in circulation – how many are open.
Half a billion bottles and doses do not return
With a supposed quota of 80 percent, 2.75 billion bottles and cans will probably be sold, 2.2 billion should be recycled this year. The deposit slip would therefore make up around 550 million bottles. In turn, that would be multiplied by 25 cents – more than 130 million euros.
Even if a higher quota is achieved when recycling, the “yield” must still be in the reach of three digit – the contribution of the Pfand muffle to the system. A solution would be “pawn rings” on public Dungkübles, in which the containers are placed and the needy who have been left to cash in. There is a pilot test in Graz.
