Why is the deposit on single-use containers only being introduced in 2025?

The common goal of trade, industry and the Climate Protection Ministry is to build up a highly efficient, service-orientated and transparent system capable of guaranteeing that the single-use deposit is processed smoothly for consumers through the preparatory work of EWP Recycling Pfand Österreich gGmbH.

To this end the logistics and the processing processes must be developed with producers, importers and collectors, and the reverse vending machines procured.
