20 million euros in 'Volta' deposits remain unclaimed
Consumers have not yet reclaimed approximately 20 million euros in 10-cent deposits paid for beverage bottles under 3 liters through the 'Volta' system. Data as of August indicates a 44% return rate, with nearly 200 million bottles still unreturned to the system since it began operating.
Why it mattersIf you buy beverages in plastic or metal containers, remember that the 10-cent deposit you pay for each bottle is yours to reclaim by returning the empty packaging to one of the over 3,000 'Volta' machines across Portugal.
