However, this regulation is now simplified in Styria. From January 2025, a uniform system for all plastic and metal packaging will be introduced. This applies, among other things, bottles for cleaning agents, yoghurt cups, foils, cans, cans as well as beverage cans and doses for pet food, which then land all in the same yellow ton.

disposable deposit on beverage packaging

In addition to the change in waste separation, a disposable deposit for plastic beverage bottles and beverage cans will also be introduced nationwide next year. Here, 25 cents per packaging are collected, which are refunded when returned. This regulation includes all plastic beverage packaging, except for dairy products. Significant changes in the handling of disposable packaging are imminent, and the Austrian deposit symbol becomes a recurring element of beverage packaging.
