Budapest – Hungary joins 1st of January 2024 the 14 European countries to introduce the Deposit Return System (DRS) for single-use beverage packaging aiming to recycle 90 percent of plastic and glass bottles and metal beverage cans within three years. Consumers will pay the deposit of HUF 50 (€0.13) that applies to PET & glass bottles, and aluminum cans from 1 deciliter to 3 liters. The value of the returned bottles can be either redeemed or exchanged for cash at the store, returned to the customer’s bank account by using the app, or donated to charity by selecting the option shown on the vending machine display. Sensoneo implemented the IT solution that works as a backbone of the entire DRS system in Hungary.
