METRO Group opting for reusable packaging
The sales divisions of METRO Group in Germany will in future only offer drinks in reusable packaging and in one-way packaging that does not require compulsory deposit. One-way bottles and cans subject to the payment of a compulsory deposit will be removed from the shelves. This relates to carbonized soft drinks, mineral water and beer.
At the points of sale, the return of one-way packaging proved to be uneconomical and tedious for the customers.
