The European Association of the Cartonboard and Folding Carton Industry has conducted a survey among German consumers on the mandatory returnable to-go system. The survey revealed that two thirds of respondents have a low level of acceptance of mandatory deposit systems.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

More than 1,000 German consumers have been contacted in connection with the latest developments on reuse instead of recycling, on their preferences for packaging materials<\/strong> from ProCarton<\/a> interviewed.<\/p>

Two thirds (66 per cent) of respondents expressed a low level of acceptance of mandatory deposit systems and stated that a mandatory minimum deposit system for reusable plastic packaging would reduce the frequency with which they demand the products in question. 28 per cent would not be influenced by this and just 6 per cent of respondents were in favour of the measure and would possibly increase their consumption or order frequency.<\/p>

Fast food restaurants show a largely identical pattern of behaviour: 61 per cent prefer to recycle their packaging<\/strong>compared to 39 per cent who prefer to pick up reusable plastic packaging, rinse it and hand it in at a collection point. The There is little trust in restaurants to clean reusable plastic packaging properly<\/strong>and one wonders whether sales outlets can guarantee the necessary food hygiene.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Almost two thirds of those surveyed would more likely or much more likely to choose a brand that uses recyclable packaging<\/strong>than for a competitor that uses reusable plastic packaging. Investments and developments in this area are also favoured: More than two thirds (67 per cent) want brands to invest in biodegradable cardboard packaging that can be recycled rather than reusable plastic packaging (33 per cent).<\/p>
