The new pledge system in Austria has shown promising results since its entry into force on January 1, 2023. According to The EDRSA has set itself the goal of strengthening the efficiency and environmental responsibility of deposit systems in Europe. In addition, the association is actively involved in public debates and cooperation with manufacturers as well as trade associations in order to proactively shape legislation in the area of disposable deposit systems and packaging.
