Polish Machines Reshape Crushed PET Bottles for Deposit System
Published
A Polish company is developing a new technology for the deposit return system. Machines are being built at Urban Park Janki, near Warsaw, that can reshape crushed PET bottles. Thanks to this, the devices can better recognise packaging and accept it from customers.
The deposit system has operated in Poland since 2025. Consumers pay an additional deposit when buying drinks in plastic bottles and cans, and recover the money after returning the packaging. The problem is that crushed bottles are often not accepted by the machines, which makes using the system difficult.
The new devices are meant to solve this problem. The machine restores the bottles to their original shape, so that it can scan and register them correctly. According to the article, the technology was developed in Poland, which means the solution is being created on the domestic market.
Experts point out that the efficient operation of the deposit system is very important for environmental protection, because returning bottles helps reduce the amount of waste and makes their reuse easier. For now, however, it is not known when the new machines will be available in shops across the country.
