Supermarket chains were made responsible for selling drinks in thin, non-reusable plastic bottles or cans. So a pawn was imposed on them and the markets had to buy machines that can read the codes on the containers, crush them after it and giving the customers a receipt that he can exchange for money at the cashiers. All this is done so that we may not drown in plastic garbage one day.

It was the fact that the dumps in our country were growing quickly and the fear was that one day we would be sitting on a huge heap of plastic garbage that made the lawmaker come with a system in cooperation with the manufacturers and supermarkets that made it possible to collect valuable material such as plastics and metal seperate from the rest of your waste.
Some - like milk cartons- is burned in high temperature furnaces, metal goes back to industry and plastic and glass get molten down.

Especially breweries and soft drinks manufacturers are the owners of their high quality bottles so the pawn is an incitements for giving them back. That means they do not go into the containers!!
Coca-Cola company has their own bottles in Germany too for their products and you get the money back when you take the empty bottles back into the supermarket.
The bottles and jars that go into the containers are of course crushed and molten down.

Germany thank you for caring abot the earth.you are blessed.
Actually you have to pay a pawn for the beer bottles you`ve shown. You have to take them to the supermarket to get your money back, then they will be cleaned, refilled etc. The containers are for pawn free bottles wich will be melted. The Rubber in those containers is for noise reduction and wont protect the bottles from breakage.

Also we love to seperate waste. Every german has a small wastehill in his backyard, and in our free time we seperate tin foil from plastic there for example. This is considered to be fun in germany.
If you don't do this you will get pilloried and people are allowed to throw recycled apples at you...
