Tread a flat method knock it out of your head. RePont vending machines can only take back undamaged bottles, so take care of the integrity of the redeemable PET bottles (with the 50 ft icon) and return them to RePont. For bottles that do not have this icon, the tap flat principle still applies, so light it selectively. This leaves more space in the collector and more efficient transport.

What is a PET bottle and why is it a problem?
The PET bottle is made of disposable plastic, decomposes over hundreds of years and can pollute the environment as a microplastic.
Is it possible to throw the bottle into the selective along with the cap?
According to the latest recommendations, collect them together with the caps selectively, the caps are already attached to the bottle. Although the cap is made of a different type of plastic, this method is less likely to get into the garbage or the environment.
Can the PET bottle be washed and refilled?
Technically yes, but it is not recommended for reuse because it is difficult to clean and harmful substances can dissolve. PET bottle officially belongs to the category of one-way packaging.
Is a returnable glass bottle better?
Yes, because it can be recharged several times and produces less waste. But smooth returnable bottles are recycled and another raw material is made from it. The best system would be recharging, which today in Hungary is only available by taking it off. Therefore, prevention is much more important.
What can I do if only PET bottle drinks are available near me?
Aim to buy a large pack or transfer it to your own water bottle and collect the bottle selectively. Also, check if the tap water is drinkable and choose this instead.
