archival video The Administrator of the backup system himself informs about the positive results in a press release. According to the results of current analyzes of OZV NATUR-PACK, in 2022, according to their conclusions, the amount of plastic bottles and cans in the sorted collection decreased significantly. “On the basis of these data and also data on the growing number of returned backup beverage containers, we can conclude that backup in Slovakia really works. Consumers do not crumple beverage containers and throw them in containers for sorted collection, but hand them over at collection points,” states the administrator.

However, backup has another effect. “In terms of weight, for selected types of plastic beverage packaging that have been reserved since January 1, 2022, and that were part of the sorted collection, these decreased from 21.58% in 2021 to 3.14% in 2022. This weight decrease of plastic beverage packaging accounts for 85.45%. In terms of volume, this is an even greater decrease. While in 2021, plastic beverage packaging accounted for up to 30.44% on average, by the middle of 2022 this value has decreased to 4.15%, which represents a decrease of 86.37%. Very similar values of the decrease were also found for beverage cans,” explains Marek Brinzík from OZV NATUR-PACK.

However, even on the basis of the latest data and analyses, we can see that backups have found their way in a short time supporters. Consumers want to return the packaging to collection points, and a deposit of 15 euro cents is enough motivation for them to do so,” states Lucia Morvai, director of communications of the Deposit System Administrator. The goal of the deposit system is to achieve a 90 percent return on sold beverage packaging by 2025, recycle it and use it in the production of new plastic bottles and cans. The material thus circulates in a circle, which not only minimizes the amount of thrown waste in nature, but also saves natural resources. Slovaks have been making backups since the beginning of the year The backup system started working on January 1, 2022. All plastic and metal beverage containers from 0.1 to 3 liters are backed up, with the exception of milk, drinks containing milk, syrups and hard alcohol. Backup packaging has a large “Z” in the recycling arrows and the text “BACKUP” on the label. The amount of the deposit is the same for both plastic bottles and cans, which is 15 cents. Almost 2,800 collection points are registered in this system, of which more than 1,600 are small stores throughout Slovakia, which collect packaging voluntarily.
