Less waste and more recycling - that's what speaks for deposit. We at I·DO have been committed to the environment from the very beginning. Our products are manufactured in a climate-neutral manner and our bottles are made from 100% recycled R-PET. We are proud to now take the next step and be part of the deposit system in Germany from January 2022. Find out more about our packaging, what we are doing for sustainability and what the upcoming deposit requirement means for you as a consumer.
Our most sustainable juice bottle
All I DO juice bottles are made from 100% recycled polyethylene terephthalate (R-PET). We deliberately chose recycled PET to reduce and recycle packaging waste. But what is R-PET anyway? Recycled PET is not newly produced PET from petroleum, a finite resource, but PET that has already been used for packaging and has been prepared for reuse through recycling processes. Life cycle assessments clearly show that recycled PET has a lower CO₂ footprint than newly produced PET. This most sustainable juice bottle allows us to support the circular economy in the best possible way.
Why we are deposit advocates
The Federal Environment Agency assumes a return rate of 96% for deposit bottles. The deposit system therefore clearly provides an incentive to return bottles to the cycle. Only when bottles are returned can they be properly sorted and recycled. Recycling avoids waste and the deposit bottle can be used to make new packaging. In this way, we can save resources together and contribute to climate protection.
deposit on the I·DO bottles
We want to keep as much plastic in the cycle as possible and reduce the production of new plastic. For this reason, you will find the deposit symbol on all I DO R-PET juice bottles from January 2022. We support the upcoming statutory deposit requirement , which states that from January 1, 2022, a deposit must be paid for disposable plastic bottles. The basis for this is the Packaging Act, which is now being implemented in Germany.
What can I do as a consumer for the sake of the environment?
If you want to shop in an environmentally friendly way, it's best to buy regional products and bottles with a deposit. To make sure that this really works, deposit bottles should always be returned to the deposit machine. You can easily return I·DO deposit bottles to your local supermarket or anywhere that drinks that require a deposit are sold. The deposit machine, your wallet and the environment will be happy. And we'll be happy with you. Yay!
