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.
