There will also be changes to packaging at the start of 2024. From 1 January, a deposit of 25 cents will be charged on milk drinks in disposable plastic bottles. Deutsche Umwelthilfe criticises the fact that drinks cartons are still exempt from the mandatory deposit.<\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

From 1 January 2024, the following will also apply to milk, mixed milk drinks and other drinkable beverages milk products in non-returnable plastic bottles a standardised national deposit of 25 cents<\/strong>. Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH) welcomes this as an important step towards protecting the environment and resources and strengthening recycling. At the same time, the environmental and consumer protection organisation still sees a considerable Gap in the deposit regulation<\/strong> and is calling on Federal Environment Minister Steffi Lemke to make rapid improvements. Beverage cartons, such as those from the market leader Tetra Pak<\/a>, a one-way deposit should be introduced.<\/p>

\u201eAfter years of pressure, the one-way deposit is finally being extended to milk drinks. This was long overdue! However, the regulation leaves out beverage cartons, which are also harmful to the environment - with fatal consequences: 34 per cent of them do not end up in the yellow bag for recycling, but in residual waste, the paper bin or in nature. In contrast, 98 per cent of single-use beverage containers with a deposit are collected. With a deposit, around 2.3 billion drinks cartons could find their way into recycling every year, which are currently incinerated. Environment Minister Lemke should therefore include drinks cartons in the deposit scheme as soon as possible. However, regional reusable bottles are particularly resource- and climate-friendly. To ensure that as many consumers as possible use them, Environment Minister Lemke must create appropriate incentives, first and foremost with a nationwide one-way levy.\u201c<\/p>

Barbara Metz<\/strong>, Federal Managing Director of the DUH<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>

In order to increase the reusable quota for drinks bottles from the current level of only around 43 per cent to the legally stipulated 70 per cent, DUH is calling for a one-way levy of at least 20 cents per plastic bottle in addition to the deposit. This will make their negative ecological impact visible in the price and also encourage discounters to offer reusable bottles.<\/p>
