Cologne/Bonn Airport collects 3 million deposit bottles

The Cologne/Bonn Airport recently reached the impressive mark of three million collected deposit bottles. This initiative is part of the "donation your deposit" "donation, which has been used not only for waste prevention, but also to support social projects since its introduction in May 2015.

sustainability focus and social responsibility

The passengers collected are given by the passengers in special collecting bins before the security check. This measure ensures that the bottles do not end up in the waste, but make a valuable social contribution. The airport supports the Porz Jobwerk with the proceeds from the deposits. This non -profit organization is dedicated to promoting long -term unemployed and creating new jobs.

Efficient implementation of the project

A team of three employees who is financed by the job work is responsible for empty bottle management. They empty the collecting bins, sort the bottles and prepare them for recycling. The airport works closely with the recycling company "The Green Dot", which recycles the bottles in the recycling circuit.

long -term positive effects

Overall, the airport has been able to generate around 740,000 euros in donations since the start of the project that flow directly into the social projects of the job. This initiative thus makes a noticeable contribution to both the environment and social stability in the region. The success of the deposit collecting project is not only determined by the large number of bottles collected, but also by the sustainable positive effects on the community.
