Important note:
This product is not a regular item for purchase, but serves exclusively to transparently display the statutory deposit amount in the online store. It is not possible to purchase or ship "deposit" as a single item.
Why is the "deposit" product available in the store?
In the MBG Amber Room, we want to offer you full cost transparency. For certain drinks - especially bottles and cans - you are legally obliged to pay a deposit. To make the ordering process as clear and comprehensible as possible for you, the deposit is shown separately in the shopping cart and appears there as a separate "product". This allows you to see at a glance what costs are incurred for the actual item and how much deposit is charged in addition.
What does this mean for your order?
-
The deposit product is not a physical item and will not be shipped.
-
It cannot be purchased individually or added to the shopping cart.
-
The deposit amount is automatically taken into account for all beverages subject to deposit in the shopping cart and displayed transparently.
-
After returning your empty bottles or cans, you will receive the deposit back at your local return system (e.g. supermarket, beverage store).
What is a deposit actually?
A deposit is a legally stipulated surcharge on certain packaging - usually bottles and cans - to encourage their return and recycling. The deposit system serves to protect the environment: it ensures that recyclable materials are reused and the environment is relieved of unnecessary waste.
How does the deposit system work?
-
Products subject to a deposit: Mainly disposable and reusable drinks packaging such as PET bottles, glass bottles and drinks cans.
-
Deposit amount: Usually €0.25 per disposable packaging; for reusable packaging often €0.08 or €0.15 depending on the container.
-
Return & refund: Empty packaging can be returned to all return points in Germany (supermarkets, drinks retailers, vending machines) and the deposit will be refunded.
-
Legal basis: The deposit is regulated in the Packaging Act and serves to promote recycling and environmental protection.
Your benefits from the deposit system
-
Environmental protection: Active contribution to the circular economy and the reduction of packaging waste.
-
Cost transparency: you always know the amounts for product and deposit.
-
Convenient return: wherever you buy drinks, you can also return your deposit.
Note on ordering
Please note: The deposit product is a purely technical entry for better presentation and billing in the store. When you buy drinks, the deposit amount is displayed as a separate item in the shopping cart. It is not possible to send or purchase the deposit product.
