Information about deposit packages
According to § 5(8) of the Packaging Act and § 39 of the implementing provision5 it is mandatory to use reusable utensils at public events in our country.
To fulfill this commitment and reduce our ecological footprint, we have collaborated with Round Cup OÜ. Deposit utensils will be used in the event area. The process is simple: 3 euros are collected for each deposit item, and when you return the cup, you will be refunded 2 euros for the deposit, with 1 euro remaining as a recycling fee. This initiative ensures that we collectively contribute to environmental protection, keeping Estonian nature clean, and eliminating single-use plastic waste.
Why do we take a deposit?
Our main goal is to end the use of single-use plastic utensils at events and contribute to the circular economy. By charging a recycling fee, we can cover the costs associated with the service, including the collection, cleaning, and transportation of reusable items. We believe that sharing these responsibilities will bring long-term benefits to all involved.
How to request a deposit refund:
-
Keep the deposit cups: Do not throw away deposit cups and dishes in the trash. Instead, keep them with you and reuse them throughout the event.
-
Return to designated locations: Deposit return tents serve as return points. Please note that there are seven separate return points for utensils and cups will not be returned at sales counters. See the area map below for the location of the deposit return tents:
-
Deposit refund in cash or by card: Once you have returned the deposit items, you can receive your deposit back in cash or have it refunded to your card, depending on your preference. The money returned to the card will be credited to your account within 4 business days.
We believe that through joint efforts we can create a positive impact on the environment and make a significant contribution to the preservation of clean nature. We thank you for your support and understanding in this important environmental endeavor. If you have any questions or need more information, please contact us.
