Beverage containers
Does PET deposit bottle (single-use, with deposit) fall under the EWKFondsG?
Yes
Yes, but much cheaper. A single-use PET bottle with a deposit remains a beverage container and is therefore subject to the levy in principle, but at the sharply reduced rate for bottles with a deposit under § 31 VerpackG — the difference from the non-deposit rate is a factor of about 180.
