Packaging is the beginning, not the end
As one of the first producers in Poland, we joined the deposit return scheme. We believe every package deserves a second life.
Every Muszynianka bottle represents a promise: not just of water quality, but of responsibility for its packaging. This is why we were among the first in Poland to join the deposit return scheme. We believe a closed circular loop is the only way forward.
A second life for packaging
As of 2025, Muszynianka PET bottles up to 1.5 l are subject to a deposit. Every Muszynianka bottle you return to the system ceases to be waste and becomes a highly valuable resource. Thanks to the deposit return scheme, we work together to ensure PET packaging is recycled into rPET, reducing our carbon footprint and protecting natural resources.
- ✓ Muszynianka PET bottles up to 1.5 l: all our plastic packaging in this format is covered by the deposit.
- ✓ Receipt-free returns: you can return empty packaging at any collection point or reverse vending machine.
- ✓ Recycling support (rPET): the returned material is utilized to produce new packaging.
- ✓ Environmental protection: less waste translates into real action for nature.
How the deposit return scheme operates
Four simple steps that reshape the future of packaging in Poland.
You buy a drink
A deposit fee is added to the price of the PET bottle.
You return the packaging
You return the empty packaging at a store or a reverse vending machine.
You reclaim your deposit
You receive a refund of the deposit fee for each package: in cash or as a deposit voucher.
Recycling
The raw material returns to production, seamlessly closing the packaging loop.
Our goals within the deposit return scheme
The deposit return scheme is far more than a legal obligation; it is a genuine catalyst for positive change.
Environmental protection
The deposit scheme radically reduces littering with beverage containers in public spaces. Financial motivation effectively eliminates the issue of illegal dumping and abandoned bottles in forests or parks.
Recycling efficiency
We strive to achieve a 95–98% recovery rate: several times higher than standard selective collection. Returned packaging is not mixed with other waste, which significantly boosts the value of secondary raw materials.
Circular economy
Thanks to the deposit, PET goes straight back into producing new packaging instead of ending up in landfills. We are building a sustainable economy where resources remain in constant circulation.
Shifting consumer habits
We are introducing a model of responsible consumption where returning packaging becomes an integral part of the shopping experience, shaping proactive environmental attitudes in society.
Packaging matters
We design our packaging with its second life in mind.
Deposit return scheme
Since 2025, all Muszynianka PET bottles have been covered by the deposit. Get your refund in cash or via a deposit voucher at any collection point. Formats: 1.5 l, 1 l, and 0.6 l.
30% rPET in every bottle
All our PET bottles contain 30% rPET: a raw material sourced directly from recycling.
What is rPET?
rPET is a PET material obtained by recycling used bottles. It allows us to close the packaging loop: a returned bottle comes back as raw material for a brand new one.
