You are making a difference
Every time you hand in your empty bottles and cans with a deposit, you help save the environment resources and energy.
95% less energy is utilized when producing a can of repurposed material instead of producing an entirely new one. Ressources are also saved. Cans are manufactured from aluminum and in order to produce a kilo of aluminum, one must first use four kilos of Bauxite, an aluminum-rich rock ore. When recycling, this is not necessary – and that is good news for the ecosystem.
In 2023, we have reached a return percentage of 92%. Thank you!
