Today, modern sorting technologies make it possible to precisely separate the different material streams and make them usable for recycling. Feedback from the public shows that The joint collection is widely accepted and perceived as practicable.   <\/p>\n<p>In parallel to the new joint collection, the <strong>one-way deposit for plastic drinks bottles and cans<\/strong> was also introduced at the start of 2025. Since then, this packaging has been collected via a separate take-back system and is no longer collected via the Yellow Bag. <\/p>\n<h3><strong>Deposit system shifts collection of Packaging<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This simultaneous changeover will have a visible impact on collection volumes: For the transition year 2025, Interzero Austria expects a <strong>decline of around 7% in packaging collected in the Yellow Bag or Yellow Bin.<\/strong> While 231,000 tons were still collected in 2024, the current projection for 2025 is 214,000 tons. The decline is a direct result of the shift of certain packaging to the deposit system, not a reduction in collection behavior. <\/p>\n<p>This development is relevant for companies for two reasons: Firstly, clean, comprehensive collection improves the quality of the recyclates available. Secondly, it becomes clear that <strong>the circular economy does not end with collection<\/strong>. The decisive factor is what happens afterwards &#8211; in other words, how the recovered materials can be fed back into suitable applications. This is precisely where Interzero comes in: <strong>with a holistic approach from collection and sorting to specific applications in new products.<\/strong>   <\/p>\n<p>An international case study from the cosmetics industry shows just how <strong>efficient and versatile recycled plastics<\/strong>from the Yellow Bag can be today. Together with Interzero, <strong>La Biosth\u00e9tique<\/strong> has developed packaging made from <strong>post-consumer recyclate<\/strong> that meets the highest quality and safety requirements. The example illustrates the potential of the correct use of collected materials and how the circular economy can work in practice.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; back_color=&#8221;color-lxmt&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;181533&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;110136&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Read more about the topic here<br \/>\n&#8220;La Biosth\u00e9tique and Interzero make PCR socially acceptable&#8221;<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_button border_width=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;203578&#8243; link=&#8221;url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.interzero.de%2Fblog%2Fdetail%2Fla-biostetique-und-interzero-machen-pcr-salonfaehig-hochwertige-kosmetikprodukte-verpackt-in-recyclingkunststoff%2F|title:High-quality%20cosmetic%20products%20packaged%20in%20recycled%20plastic|target:_blank|&#8221;]To the article[\/vc_button][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=&#8221;h3&#8243; text_size=&#8221;h3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;111411&#8243;]<strong>Latest News<\/strong>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_row_inner limit_content=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;23818&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; media_ratio=&#8221;four-three&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;160774&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;110690&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/interzero.at\/en\/blog\/pesticide-containers-subject-to-system-requirements-from-2026-check-blacklist\/\"><strong>Check blacklist: <\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nContainers of plant protection products subject to the system<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;23816&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; media_ratio=&#8221;four-three&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;134191&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;198281&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/interzero.at\/en\/blog\/eu-forces-companies-to-use-less\/\"><strong>EU forces less Packaging:<\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nInterzero classifies the PPWR<\/h4>\n<h4><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;23820&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; media_ratio=&#8221;four-three&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;145023&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;521685&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/interzero.at\/en\/blog\/interzero-austria-recertified-as-a-leading-company-award-at-the-start-of-2026\/\"><strong>Leading Companies Austria: <\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nRecertification of Interzero as a leading company<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;23824&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; media_ratio=&#8221;four-three&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;141340&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;180810&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/interzero.at\/en\/blog\/yellow-bag-what-the-new-collection-system-does-and-the-real-potential-of-recycling\/\"><strong>New PPWR Whitepaper: <\/strong><\/a><br \/>\nFields of action and support from Interzero<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; back_color=&#8221;color-lxmt&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;171404&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_separator sep_color=&#8221;&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;114130&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;158652&#8243;]<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><strong>About Interzero:<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>Interzero is one of the leading service providers for closing product, material and logistics loops and an innovation leader in plastics recycling with the largest sorting capacity in Europe.
