Systems for returnable solutions – sustainable, convenient and cost-effective

Looking back on 20 years of experience in the fields of deposit clearing, reverse logistics and returnable transport packaging (plus cleaning), we are the right partner for your returnable solution. With the options we offer, you have the chance to fulfil your duties for providing returnable packaging for food and beverages while creating a service for your customers that is hygienic, user-friendly and cost-effective.

Changes in the law from 2023

On 1 January 2023, section 33 ff. of the German Packaging Act (VerpackG) enters into force, which requires hospitality businesses and retailers (among others) to offer returnable packaging for out-of-home sales. Alongside the disposable packaging offered to date, customers must also now be offered a reusable/returnable option.

The use of returnable containers will cut down on a lot of disposable packaging – and simultaneously be a big help to conserving our valuable resources. Now is therefore the best time to get ready for the switchover and become a partner in our returnable system.

One example of the successful implementation of our returnable system is the current test phase with Burger King in Cologne.

How our system works

Our returnable system has a clear focus on closing loops, with the aim of avoiding waste and conserving resources. We handle all of the relevant steps for our system partners, which lets you concentrate on your number one priority: your customers.

Our loop: Containers are issued at your POS and a deposit is charged; Containers are handed back to any participating partner and deposit is paid back; Containers are picked up from all system partners by Interseroh; The containers taken back are counted and deposit clearing is carried out; The returnable containers are cleaned and dried to the highest hygiene standards; Any damaged containers are sorted out and recycled so that the materials can again be put back into the loop; Once clean and sorted, the returnable containers are shipped out again by Interseroh or your logistics network

Get ready for closing the loop!

We welcome the chance to advise you personally, via email, phone or in a joint workshop.
