From January 2024, supermarkets are obliged to offer 10 to 15 percent of beer, water, juices, milk and non-alcoholic beverages in reusable packaging. A deposit system for plastic bottles and cans is to be introduced by 2025 in order to achieve the EU target of collecting 77 percent of single-use plastic bottles by 2025 and 90 percent by 2029. With Hofer, the first discounter in Austria is now beginning to offer return options. “63,000 tons of cans and plastic bottles are fed into an environmentally friendly circular economy in Austria every year,” Hofer said in a broadcast on Wednesday.
