PODCAST: Deposit System for PET Bottles and Cans in a Nutshell – A Major Innovation for Czechia. Interview with Petr Novotný, Institute for Circular Economy (INCIEN)
The Czech Ministry of the Environment has submitted a draft amendment to the Packaging Act, which would introduce a deposit system for selected single-use beverage containers – PET bottles and cans – in Czechia. This system represents a great opportunity for Czechia and could significantly influence the entire development of the circular economy in the country. It has the potential to boost a value-added economy and accelerate innovative trends in the Czech market. In this podcast, we aim to debunk the most common myths surrounding deposit systems and examine real data and analyses that demonstrate the benefits of this approach.

We bring you a “Look Back” at the past year 2024, including all the activities and events that we have dedicated together with you to current challenges and topics in the field of responsible and sustainable business.
