The one-way deposit system – how does it work?
Since 2003, consumers, beverage manufacturers and retailers have organised the issue and return of one-way beverage packaging in combination with a deposit. In this way, everyone involved makes an active contribution to environmental protection and promotes resource-saving material cycles.
Are you selling beverages on the German market?
Many consumers like to use disposable beverage packaging - not least because they can be easily disposed of using the Reverse Vending Machines. This is an important argument in favour of beverage manufacturers joining the DPG one-way deposit process and thus remaining on the safe side, legally speaking.
Do you collect packaging with a one-way deposit?
The system of the Deutsche Pfandsystem (DPG System) enables consumer-friendly return of empty packaging via vending machines, but also via manual withdrawal at the cash desk. The standards agreed within the DPG System promote uncomplicated reimbursement of deposits.
The DPG Disposable Deposit System - A valuable contribution to the Circular Economy
Thanks to the organised deposit cycle, almost 100% of the PET plastic can be kept within a single cycle: After the return by the consumer, the emptied bottle goes through the Reverse Vending Machine to a high-quality recycling, where, amongst other things, new bottles are formed from the shredded material - but the automotive and textile industries also like to reuse these high-quality recyclates in their products. It’s also possible to recycle beverage cans made of aluminium or sheet metal. In this way, the cycles can be closed more and more consistently.
How does the one-way deposit process work?
Since 2003, a deposit has been charged on many beverage containers - whether bottles or cans made of PET, glass or metal. The DPG one-way deposit system is a convenient solution for everyone involved - reliable in the process of issuing and taking back labeled one-way beverage containers, innovative in the technical implementation of material cycles and secure in the processing of deposit accounting. We would be happy to show you how this system works.
