Large festivals bring revelers together across Germany. However, visitors also leave behind a lot of rubbish, including numerous returnable bottles.

Despite existing deposit systems, many bottles and cans are carelessly thrown away or trampled on. This causes considerable environmental pollution and prevents them from being recycled. The garbage problem at festivals also poses a problem for the organizers, who have to bear immense costs for cleaning.
But that’s not all: many people earn their living by collecting deposits. They and their work deserve special attention and support. That’s why Fritz-Kola, with its “Pfand gehört neben” initiative, is now launching the “Pfandhaus” project at selected German festivals for the second time. With the symbolic art installation, the Hamburg company wants to draw attention to the waste problem caused by the careless disposal of bottles and cans and create a greater awareness of sustainable behavior among the festival audience.
This summer, the Fritzen are continuing the meaningful project at even bigger top festivals. The Southside Festival, which took place in June, will be followed by the Highfield Festival in mid-August, for example. More festival visitors also means more deposits, and Pfand gehört is expecting deposit proceeds of over 10,000 euros by the end of the season.
