In order to achieve our ambitious goal of a world without waste by 2030, strong partners are needed: Thanks to our long-standing successful cooperation with Altstoff Recycling Austria AG (ARA), we are able to recycle our packaging in an environmentally friendly manner after consumption.

With the license income, ARA organizes and finances the collection and recycling of packaging waste in Austria.

Through our cooperation with strong local partners such as Altstoff Recycling Austria AG (ARA), we aim to further increase collection and recycling rates in Austria towards our goal of a world without waste.


For the collection of packaging waste, ARA provides consumers with approx. 1.86 million collection containers available. In addition, 1.7 million households are connected to the yellow bag collection. Three out of four PET bottles are already collected separately using the ARA system. This enables them to be recycled and processed into a high-quality raw material for new PET bottles.
